I like Burgs, I really do. I first heard him through sound-bits in techno mixes, and I always wanted to learn more about him. He has a really nice way with words, and this books "flows" pretty well. But...he is a bit hard to follow. I like meditation, and I believe there are many really great things to discover and share. But the healing for me is a bit iffy. And some of the experiences he describes...They sound a bit unbelievable.
Which is a shame, because in between Burgs shares profound knowledge, and made me think a lot. I'm curious to read more about him.
Also, this man might be the best at humble bragging ever.

deeply touching and personal
Not only a page turner but a deeply nourishing book on the adventure of being a human. Sad to have finished it, happy to feel closer and understand better this life this world and Burgs himself.
