Read it during my one-year off after 4 years of slaving away (minimum 12hr-days) as a software developer for small start-up companies. I was quite unhappy with my life at the time ... well, I didn't have much of a life back then. This book, along with Sri Sri's other booked titled "Celebrating Silence", helped me reclaim and found meaning in my life. These two books recommended to me by my mother started my spiritual journey.

Um excelente livro para quem concebe a vida para além da matéria e busca conectar-se com o seu próprio espírito e com a espiritualidade como um todo. Exceto os capítulos que tratam sobre a reencarnação, que considero vagos e pouco fundamentados, este livro é um bom exemplo de como nós "ocidentais", necessitamos beber mais na fonte dos "orientais". A Índia (neste caso) tem muito a nos ensinar.

This is an amazing book. It is short, yet it covers all the life important topics. I liked the openness in the book connecting wisdom from yoga, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. To present us such great examples from each of the religious can open many people to listen more, cause they may find here the religion they believe in.

The only thing I am not sure about is the topic of the book. It is full of great wisdom for the new millennium, but I just have to question myself. Is this book something today‘s generation would understand? I do not think so. I think to understand more this book, you need at least some spiritual or religious background. Let's say you are an Indian, in that case, this book should be fine for you. But what about Europeans or people from the USA? I do not think, that those can grasp the knowledge within the book with easy without any spiritual background.
