The Book of Not Knowing: Exploring the True Nature of Self, Mind, and Consciousness
Over decades of martial arts and meditation practice, Peter Ralston discovered a curious and paradoxical fact: that true awareness arises from a state of not-knowing. Even the most sincere investigation of self and spirit, he says, is often sabotaged by our tendency to grab too quickly for answers and ideas as we retreat to the safety of the known.

In fact, if I were stranded on a desert island and could only have 3 books this would be the one I most definitely would not want to be without. No one interested in understanding the nature of who they really are, should be without this practical text. I have come to view this book as having my own personal Zen Master on call.

I am loving this book. It's easy to read and yet sort of exhausting; mindfulness requires so much energy, somehow. This book brings me peace and I like its format, laid out like scripture chapters and verses; a nice replacement for those of us who have left organised religion.
very nice book on SELF; it might be difficult if you haven't read other Prof Ralston's books and it contains many exercises that take quite a bit of time but well worth it
A book to ponder over again and again.
