Title: If you must read it, borrow, don't buy
Review: Many book groups are reading this book, which is how I encountered it. It was a trial to get through. While I expected a book about a personal spiritual journey, I thought it would have relevance to most readers. This seemed instead to be a narcissistic exploration of the author's own emotional life. I wonder what a word count of the pronoun "I" would reveal? Her simplistic descriptions of the residents of India and Bali smacked of condescension. Read Greg Mortenson's Three Cups of Tea if you would like to read an inspiring encounter with another culture.
