No I do not know anything of Chogyam Trungpa's life. The book was recommended to me by a Sangha member of the temple I visit, Kagyu lineage, when this person heard I was interested in Buddhist psychology. Someone else commented briefly that he had a controversial life and some really enjoy his view and others feel he has transgressed the boundaries ... they gave me no examples though and just ended there. At the time I felt it was best not to be inquisitive and left it.

My impression of Chogyam Trungpa is that he waxed romantic and verbosely about bits and pieces of the Dhamma, largely cherry-picking it, and made no attempt to walk the talk.
