A journal of all the books he read and mushrooms he ate in college. I might have had a use for it in college. I have to point out the irony of his lamenting about the commodification of so-called truth in so-called life manuals, in his 'but this one is different' life manual.
If you are just getting into eastern philosophy, this could serve as a list of the basics. Then again, so could a simple list of the basics.

This was an incredible book! This book is for every intelligent seeker who has delved through stacks of "Wisdom manuals" and "spiritual how to books" and is still bumbling about in our universe trying to give their life meaning.
