Review title: Sounds good in theory, near impossible in practice
Product review: This book at first glance is seductive, but the more I read, the more it sounded like a new age version of Buddhism.Perhaps, the author found enlightenment (or at least he thinks he did), but I don't think the exercises in this book are going to help 99% of the readers.In Buddhism, there are similar tales of sudden enlightenment, but people who can attain enlightenment that way are very rare.In Buddhism, there are also many stories of people who think they are enlightened who are not. They have one shallow enlightenment experience, and they think they are fully enlightened but are not. Not that I am necessarily saying this about the author, but people who are enlightened don't usually go around announcing it. They look and act like normal people.This book has some good ideas. Like I said before, it is the new age version of Buddhism. Also, the author's assertions about other religions are sometimes erroneous.
