Summary: The Seat Of The Soul
Review: Two reasons I read this book, the first is that I was reading books such as this. I never read books of this kind before, but then I decided I needed to go a different direction in my life. To do this I needed help, so I started doing research into books of this kind. Now for reason number two, it was on Gillian Anderson's suggested book list and I am a fan.
I am glad I read this book, it has helped me. No book can change your life all on it's own, it is just not going to happen. But maybe you have something, whatever it is you are seeking deep inside you and you just need to find it. You need to be open to possibilities, don't close yourself off. Reading a book can bring that out, can help you find it.
I enjoyed this book, it was helpful to me. I will read other books by this author. I will most likely read this book again.

Summary: A review of the reviews
Review: Interesting that my fellow readers/reviewers have such diverse reactions to the book - love it or hate it I suppose. Yes these are all recycled ideas, but written fairly clearly and without a lot of the cultural baggage and mumbo-jumbo that you would encounter should you try to ferret the same knowledge from the original writings of the Upanishads, the Gita, the Bible or whatever. I liked the book and how it reiterates things that I knew that I knew but had forgotten that I knew them or forgotten that it was important to apply them in my life. You may well be put off by Zukavs authoritative delivery without him attributing where he gets his knowledge. I think the Pharisees had the same problem with a guy called Jesus. But if you encounter useful advice, you should use it. This book has some useful advice and is exactly what some people will need to hear at this point of their lives. I find it rather densely packed with insight but at the same time don't feel a need to make Gary my guru either.
