Review title: Pompous waste of time
Product review: The quotation at the front of the book says it all. How many serious authors quote themselves? And the body of the book is just as ridiculous. I have read many translations and commentaries on Buddhist, Hindu, and Christian philosophy, including the Dhammapada, Bhagavad Gita, and The Cloud of Unknowing. This guy's philosophy is essentially a mash-up of everything that has come before, but his writing style is so pedantic and self-congratulatory, it's a slog to get through it. Read the original thinkers and skip this pretender.
