Review title: No. Dear god, just look at the title!
Product review: Yes, it starts off as a reasonably coherent book about a mentally troubled intellectual. Right when he begins to get 'spiritual', the book takes a nose dive into incoherent new age dribble that is sloppily put together. An example would be like this: "Oh wow, I just had a spiritual awakening. A couple days later, another one. Wow." Only it is less like a spiritual awakening and more like a psychological revelation about dealing with his wounded eros. This would be fine if it was presented in an exciting, sensible way, yet instead he chooses to drag the reader along on a tiresome journey into his own unconscious that yields less than a paragraph of Jung would in terms of profundity. What's more, he manages to make even less sense without any of Jung's complexity. It reminds me of so many movies put together in current times in which the plot is dull, full of holes and one is just relieved that it is over.
