One of the first attempts by a modern Westerner to explain what Buddhism is (that's the first part and the part I got the most value out of) and also to explore the similarities and differences of buddhism and freudian psychology. That later half I think is a bit dated and filled with faulty assumptions or assertions about how the brain or souls work.
