He and his spiritual partner have a website that delves into spiritual relationships and authentic power.

Good book that goes along w/ the seat of the soul book. It is stories that illustrate the premiss of the Seat of the Soul. Should be read slower, as he suggests, but I would like one little story and go on to the next, but sometimes I would stop and contemplate the story and meaning and what it meant to me, and would then put it aside for a new story tomorrow. "Every time you set an intention to create harmony,cooperation, sharing or reverence for life, you take a step toward the goal of y More...

it's the author's personal experiences intertwined with enlightenment teachings. if you're interested in how to truthfully read yourself, your actions or lack of and how that effects your daily interactions with others, it's an eye opener. good stuff.

If you want to recommend a book to get people started reading sort of spiritual literature then this is the book to recommend. It is not too threatening and easy to read.

This was my first spiritual book and it was perfect for where I was at the time. Just little chapters showing stories and examples of a new way to look at things.

Chock full of truisms and tautologies, like any self-help/New Age book, but it just happens to be better written and presented than most other such books.

Not your chicken soup type stories. I agree with a lot he has said so far.

There were a few great nuggets in here, but I also ended up skimming toward the end as the stories became repetitive. I'm really glad to have gained those nuggets, though.

Unlike his other work I did not care for this one at all. I could not get over the feeling that throughout in his writing, he was doing a lot of tooting his own horn. I found it to a an egotistical memoir. I felt like he had really gotten away from the "intentions" behind his original purpose of publishing these books. I could not respect one word written in this book.

by the same author of Dance of the Wu-Li Masters, written in 1979. Reading this book made me appreciate Wu-Li Masters more because the author really had no idea about physics but he learned enough to communicate the spiritual aspects of it to his readers.
This book is more specifically about spirituality. Including relationships of equals, etc.

This book wasn't quite what I had expected. I was looking for something a bit more...intellectual...more 'soul-searching', I suppose, altho the stories were nice...just a bit *too much* 'rainbows and lollipops' for me, ya know?

Quite a few compelling stories in here, and some quality insights on walking the spiritual path. When he moves away from telling stories, it can get insipid.
