Review title: Good topic, poor writing style
Product review: I am a longtime student and practitioner of the type of material covered in this book. While the author does highlight some good nuggets of information pulled from the research of other people, in general I found it to be way too disjointed. It seemed like every page had several references to other works and this constant referencing really distracted from the points the author was trying to make. Also, for me personally, there were far too many things presented as "truth" and not enough encouragement of the reader to think and investigate for themselves. If you do get this book, get it as a reference compilation on topics like: enlightenment, shamanism, ancient cultures (mayan, egyptian), and near death experiences. Its best use for me would have been to skim through and see if any of the topics were of interest and then go off and get the source works the author refers to. I do not recommend reading it cover to cover.
