Thank You, Diego C Salgado, for sending me the free signed copy of the book
****
Of all the quests that human beings have set themselves to, the most difficult is the quest for internal harmony and peace of mind
People wander the worlds, spend their life savings, and listen to various gurus just to find something that is already somewhere within themselves
Alex goes in his own spiritual journey from city to city, country to country, trying to find a place where he can withdraw into himself
But society can't just let you go., Even if you think you are free of its bonds,
it still imposes its rules on you, tries to break your free-thinking, puts the obstacles in your way
Alex struggles with all of these barriers; with the fake ashrams and lack of money, with crazy criminals and glimpses of possible loves. Through his long line of adventures, visions and meeting new people, he slowly moves forward on the way towards self-discovery
Can Alex, the stranger in strange land and society, reach the goal of his entire life, or has he chosen the wrong path from the very beginning????
Join him on his journey towards enlightenment in this good thought-provoking book
