- Listeners primarily seeking guided mindfulness exercises or an introductory meditation course.
- Those looking for a neutral survey of mindfulness approaches rather than a critique.

This may suit listeners seeking a researched argument, but differing views on the writing suggest the delivery may not work equally well for everyone. The generally favourable aggregate ratings are not a measure of whether its argument or style will suit a particular listener.
