It is full of wisdom for letting go of anger, suffering, earthly desires, and attachments, and for living a life of "mindfulness," and the essence of Buddhism is spoken from a state of complete freedom. As an introductory book to Vipassana meditation and Theravada Buddhism, and as appropriate advice for deepening practice, it is a representative work of Ajaan Chah, highly regarded in the West.
