I started it, but it wasn't the right time and I had a hard time picking it up consistently. I'll get back to it soon. Got a bit of a synopsis?

I'd say his main thesis in the book is that value is fundamental, as in "electrons value positive charges, which is why they move towards them."
Hard to give a synopsis, though. It's not a simple book.
I get it, complexity is hard to convey with little time and mere words in text form to work with. But thanks, I think I've come to a similar conclusion in my own thinking, aided by his first book, Zen.
My take on it is that value is objective, but context-dependant. My main goal is to reconcile two strong intuitions:
1. There can be individual variation with respect to what ought to be valued and how
And
2. We can be more or less correct in our valuations
It's a difficult nut to crack, but I think it has helped me so much to think of value this way.
Looking forward to Lila.
