I want to wait until others read the book, or the first chapter. I;m not for skipping chapters because that suggests a apriori judgemnt.
Regarding the body/mind, if the mind is embodied, then what are the limits of the body? Skin surface in? Do we include bodily fluids and wastes as part of the body? Do we include speech? Do we include things thrown from the body? Where does the body begin and end? These may seem like ridiculous questions but if there is a soul that is co-existent with the body or at one with it, then we need to know the extension of the body, or the soul.
