What a revelation. Dr. Lindal and I share a mutual friend, who shared this book with me. Admittedly the cover and title did not jump out at me as the kind of book I would typically be drawn to (spiritual, usually Buddhist or Eastern thought). After it sat for a couple of months on my nightstand, my friend returned to town and I thought I’d best at least skim through it so I could return it. It was a slow start for me, but I was in for the shock of my life when I soon started to realize I couldn’t merely skim the material. I needed to highlight, revisit, absorb. And often pick myself off the floor. In a nutshell, this is a handbook for life. I wish I had this text 30 years ago. It certainly would have saved me so much time in understanding why we’re here. If you’ve ever pondered the mystery of life, you owe it to yourself to at least explore the journey presented here. Possibly the single most important work on spirituality I’ve ever read.
