   This is incredibly sad, Suchir went to my high school and we both went to Berkeley together. He was clearly very intelligent, and I was always sure he'd go on to be very successful / do interesting things.

   If you're struggling reading this, I want to say that you're not alone. Even if it doesn't feel like it right now, the world truly wants you to be happy.

   Opening the Heart of Compassion is one of only a few (and the best imo) English language expositions on the Buddhist model of human psychology and I found it enormously illuminating and applicable. Many get put off by the first section which has a bunch of stuff about Tibetan Buddhist deities, but the sections on the realms in part two are amazing. It also very briefly touches on a transformative practice called aspirational inquiry about investigating your own motivations. It seems to have been independently discovered by Connierae Andreas and is the subject of her book Core Transformation.
