content: This is one of the best spiritual texts I have read along with Eckhart Tolle's writing. De Mello and Tolle both point us in the same direction of awakening. Anthony De Mello uses short little humorous stories to point to the reasons why we suffer. Awareness is a great little book to refer to from time to time. It is worth owning. The lessons and realizations it provide are priceless. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is sick of suffering.
