"using the book in a philosophy class..it is well written and interesting . but i am not a "new age"thinker so i'm not crazy about the ideas in book ."
"I think the biggest warning sign for this new-age fluff piece is that it says in the title "a book that changes lives"...if a book has to say it in the title, it ain't true. Let the text of the book speak for itself, and it's effects on the reader - don't make it a "sell point". Lame.
I *AM* a new-age, eclectic person and I gagged audibly at some of the tripe in this book. Yes, I finished it (yecch), but like a meal which one eats at the in-laws house as to not offend them, it left me with indigestion.
What really ticked me off was that it's presented as a true story by Millman, but then he goes off on these hallucinogenic tangents that are NOT "real life" (yes, he may have experienced them allegorically), which just cheapens the whole thing as he passes them off as "god's honest truth" (I swear he really just jumped up on top of the gas station, really!)
Not recommended for people SERIOUS about changing their lives. If you want to follow a vegetarian diet like Millman, read 'Diet for a New America' by Robbins. This is just a mish mash of personal stories embellished a LOT to make them INCREDIBLE and MEANINGFUL."
"Wow! This is a seize the day type of book that sends a message of appreciation for being in the moment. It also touches on the connection between body and spirit. This book gave me connections to all the hours and days spent with my children as they grew up. Hiking, driving, whatever situation we were in that prompted them to say, "When will we get there." My reply was often, "We're already there!" Basically, the journey is as much a part of experience as arriving at our destination. This book, written from the point of view of the author takes us into this discovery as the meets his unlikely mentor who drives him to spiritual discoveries.
"One of my students gave this to me to read over the summer. He's a good kid, and I didn't want to disappoint him by taking it and ignoring it. The subtitle characterizes it. It is kind of an autobiography, and the fellow has a card in the back selling a self-help program based on the principles in the book. These sorts of things usually really irritate me.
I did enjoy the story though. Its more or less a story about a guy discovering a form of deliberate living based on the meditation he learns from his guru. I liked some of the little parables he throws in, especially the "Good Luck, Bad Luck" one. In any case the book made me realize I need to work on my mental discipline, and be a little more focused, so that wasn't bad."
