Rating: Summary: The World Should Read This Book Review: I have been telling my friends to read it, and loaning my copy to other friends. I read it in three intense days, and it changed my life. (Only because I was ready to hear the messages it held, mind you) It is a slap in the face if you have never thought these things, and it is a refreshing reminder if you have. I will never forget this image: (not a direct quote) If you can remember that you are the sky, not the clouds, then you will be separate from the stress. All any of us need ever do is shift our focus. Which is why I am an optimist, idealist, dreamer, philosopher, psychologist, without picking apart and killing the subjects and objects. I hope the world is ready for this.
Rating: Summary: excellent Review: I like this book and I've given a few away to my friends. I'msure you'll want to do this too so go ahead and order several copies...
Rating: Summary: De Mello can change your life! Review: This book is very in your face, very good, very thought provoking, very value altering. If you read only one book in your life, read this one.
Rating: Summary: This book will really make you think about "Waking up!" Review: Read this book over and over again! Memorize it, live it, then pass it on or buy it for someone you love! They'll thank you.
Rating: Summary: A Great and Shocking Teacher Review: This book will either enlighten you or enrage you, there is no middle ground with this author. I have given away a half dozen copies of this book and every time friends come back amazed at its impact on their lives. A book you need to read every 6 months just to get its full effect and wisdom inside these pages.
Rating: Summary: Eye-opening... Review: Read this book. It's important
Rating: Summary: Just buy this book. Review: I usually detest books that claim to change my life. But this one slipped through my heavy scepticism like an old friend taking me off guard. Its hard and gentle and challenging and fun. Just buy this book and see if you agree. And if you don't, see if I care, I'm not on commission.
Rating: Summary: This book will help even the helpless Review: You can't go wrong with this book. First, it's easy to read. Second, it's relatively short. In fact, it impresses me as to how much he was able to say in such a short book. I mean, Neale Donald Walsh needed 3 books (conversations with God) to basically say similar stuff. The chapters are also short. This makes repeating a few chapters painless. In fact, I repeated the whole book now twice. You will probably find yourself underlining many passages that you will re-read often and share with others. One that particularly felt good to me was: "Happiness is our natural state. Happiness is the natural state of little children, to whom the kingdom belongs until they have been polluted and contaminated by the stupidity of society and culture" As you probably know, Anthony De Mello died in 1987. I am sure that his death is probably atributed to; he just plain felt like doing so, and let that be it, so it was good.....
Rating: Summary: WHAT DOES THE COLOR GREEN TASTE LIKE? Review: In 1992 my wife informed me of her pregnancy, and about the same time my father informed me of his being diagnosed with cancer. This book filled the void between these two powerful lifecycles. Building on a Jesuit education, eastern upbringing, penetrating intellect, and engaging wit, DeMello writes of the mystical experience we all are on. It is so simple, yet far from easy, to become aware of each moment. DeMello's book has been not only a life guide, but the most powerful career guide I have ever read.
Rating: Summary: My Wake Up Call Review: This was the best book that I have ever read in my life. I have passed it along to many friends and would recommend it highly to everyone who is not my friend. A must for long term understanding.
