I came across this book quite by accident, compelled to read it only to support a friend of a friend! Boy, did I get lucky! In short order, I discovered that I had found a modern day master, and one who spoke directly to me. This is a book for anyone who is dedicated to living a conscious life. Most of the concepts in this book were not new to me, as I have made it my life's mission to be present in my life. However, the unique manner in which the author takes these ancient ideas, practices, and wisdom, and distills them into a form suitable for use in our modern lives, is novel and makes this book well worth reading. He shares his experiences and his wisdom with the reader with such humility and compassion that it would be difficult for most to close their minds and souls to his brilliant message, his simple truth! You will see positive changes in your life, long before you get to the last page. And then you just might read it a second time, as I am doing.
