Reviews

[Chan Podmore · Rating 4 out of 5]

Covers a lot of interesting topics (history, meditation, dreams, enlightenment,death) but it’s written in an unbiased way, considering lots of different religions. The main focus of the book is spirituality and combining this practice with the sometimes chaotic city life.
