I am not a mason, although I know quite well this world. This book should be read by virtually every person that want to understand the real meaning of the Freemasonry. The style is pretty cool, pragmatic, easy, grounded, but not let you this deceive, is one of the most interesting books one can find. It conjugate three marvelous aspects:the K to comprehend the masonic tradition( although I do not agree 100% with what the author say), a great self help book, an esoteric compendium for who looks for more than success, basically who is looking for what the masons call light.
This is a fantastic book on self improvement, told in an easily digestible manner, with clarity, and a great ability to engage the reader through parables and allegories.
This book might be great for the Mason, yes, but I would also recommend it (and have recommended it) to those who are not Masons yet seek self improvement and enlightenment.
A good General Knowledge Book from the perspective of Freemasonry & symbolism, how to apply that to your daily life. You can get a good understanding even if you are not a freemason.
