The Ultimate Truth (About Love & Happiness): A Handbook to Life
With his back to the wall and only 3 months to live, Lester was forced to search for the answers to life. Lester decided to ask himself, "What is it that we all want?" The answer he came up with is, "We all want to be happy!" Having discovered what he did, Lester was healed and went on teaching what he learned for another 40 years. This wonderful book of aphorisms on love and happiness capture the spirit and wisdom of Lester's message. Indeed, it is truly a handbook to life.

This guy was brilliant. This one's just a bunch of short phrases and such, but I'll keep reading his work.

I don't know what evil spirit of boredom possessed me to want to read this book, but I feel that it was not worth the time it took to blaze through the pages. The "handbook" contains a series of lectures given by Lester Levenson, later transcribed by the gentleman Levenson left in charge of the preservation of his teachings. Without knowing how Levenson sounded when he spoke, the presentation of the transcript comes across as a bunch of one liners, and did not saying anything I hadn't heard before. It was like reading fortune cookies, one after the other. The subject matter was addressed fine, but there was really not much to chew on when all was said and done. I felt myself saying after each section: "Yeah, and then what?"
Unless you had some connection with Lester and his followers, I recommend that you search elsewhere for a self help book that is geared towards actually helping in a sensible way. Not that there is anything inherently wrong with anything printed in the book, I just know that there are far more detailed "handbooks" out there that serve the need much better.
