Correction: The word used to have only...
Cringe! Too typical of the degradation of English and obvious ignorance of basic grammar that I see in media articles every day. Most often, misuse of "only."

I wish I could send you a copy of this book. The author intends for readers to spend 2 weeks on each chapter, thus reading, thinking, acting on it for a year. Based on =Engaged= Buddhism. Don't we all need this?
