Title: Spiritual Masochism
Review: I am quite puzzled and disturbed that anybody besides hardcore atheists and nihilists would find this book inspiring. This is the supreme arrogance of atheism- just because there doesn't appear to be any deeper meaning to existence, doesn't mean there isn't any. All it means is that you have chosen to observe the universe from your own dismally limited perspective. The author's mind has obviously been warped by unsucessful psycological techniques and due to his unfortunate experience, the only way he can rationalize existence is to dismiss the possibility that he is mentally ill and the universe and individual human potential are limitless. If he can sincerely crave permanent oblivion after a short and meaningless life I'm sure that will be his fate. He is pitiful and confused but I would not hesitate to greet him with the same advice he gives us concerning Buddha.
