Executive summary: Acting wholesomely means contributing well to the whole system around us without introducing unnecessary friction, by paying attention and being receptive to what would make things better.
Key points:
Acting wholesomely means avoiding unwholesome things that create imbalance or tension. This leverages emotional intelligence to notice issues.
It involves understanding impacts on the whole system around us and seeking harmony within it. Wholesomeness relates to virtue and sincerity but puts more emphasis on effects on others.
Making wholesome judgments requires giving issues time and space to appreciate all facets. Simply optimizing risks losing touch with the whole picture.
There will always be some unwholesomeness. Relating to it like a wise parent is better than ignoring or demonizing it.
Adopting a posture of wholesomeness, receptively and firmly seeking to improve things, encapsulates proper integration of yin and yang.
This concept pulls together things the author has long known; putting them into words can help people more intentionally practice wholesomeness.

I imagine this summary not being super helpful to people.
More specifically:
I think the executive summary is fine
The first sentences of each of Key points 1, 2, and 3 are all sort of pointing to the same point
If they were combined in one key point that would probably work
Unfortunately the second sentence in each case is making a different point, so the flow could be a bit confusing
The second sentence of Key point 2 doesn’t feel very key
Key point 4 is pretty good
Key point 5 kind of feels like nonsense (like if I squint I can see what it’s saying, but I don’t expect it to be helpful for any readers of the summary)
Key point 6 is not inaccurate, but I wouldn’t have guessed it was very key
Of course it’s possible I’m too close to the source material to judge well! Do as you will with the feedback :)
