I love this book. You can dismiss it if you want as ex-hippie/druggie New Age blather, but the fact is, this book has some serious wisdom. So get over the stigma and read this book for what it has to say, not the movement you think it represents.
The central message of this book resonates powerfully with me. How many of us spend inordinate amounts of time in the past or the future? How much of our day is spent wishing we were somewhere else, doing something else? How many of us live with the assumption or hope that one day in the future, everything will be hunky dory, even if we're not satisfied now?
Don't read this book if you can't handle in-your-face challenges to your entire way of life and mode of thinking. I try to read this book at least once a year and every time I do, it forces me to change my brain (this is a very good thing!)
Besides its message, I like how it challenges the notion of what an adult book is. Just open it up and you'll see what I mean.
"MADMEN'S THEATER: PRICE OF ADMISSION: YOUR MIND!"

Ram Dass' teacher, (assigned by "The little old man in the blanket") is my Guru now and gave me inspiration to teach Yoga all my life. I'm still alive for it!

To dismiss this would be sad.
