Extreme Spirituality: Radical Journeys for the Inward Bound

by Tolly Burkan, Andrew Weil

By placing oneself in radical situations -- walking barefoot on broken glass, breaking bricks by hand, or simply practicing humble service to others -- one is forced to confront how ego distorts or diminishes knowledge of self and reality. Extreme Spirituality introduces practices that most readers have never heard of or contemplated doing. Whether they undertake these extreme acts or simply read about them, the book is designed to inspire individuals to experience their divine nature by revealing the clear distinction between the ego and the higher self. Readers will be challenged, shocked, and stimulated as they absorb the directives of a new spiritual paradigm.

an inspiring book about the practices of extreme spirituality (fire-walking, breaking boards, sky-diving, etc) and how they can challenge and transform us, how we can apply the insights to the rest of our lives. a must-read for people who want to challenge themselves to fulfill their greatest human and spiritual potential!
