Summary: A fun, practical guide to spirituality
Review: Sluyter's approach to the spiritual life combines droll humor with very fresh, innovative, practical "how-to's." His concept of unfolding the hidden enlightenment teachings of pop culture is usually delightful, sometimes surprising. I also appreciated the bold way in which he transcends distinctions between so-called "Eastern" and "Western" approaches to spirituality, serves them with a distinctly home-grown, all-American flavor, yet avoids being New Age fluffy. As his anecdotes demonstrate, he has a solid background in traditional, authentic meditative practice, but he's got it integrated with life in America right now. I would strongly recommend this book to spiritual "veterans" looking for a fresh slant on their practice, as well as to beginners looking for a clear, fun, accessible introduction to the practice and theory of enlightenment.

Summary: Funky, funny, practical
Review: This may be the smartest, funniest, and most practical guide to the spiritual path I have ever read. By using funky American pop culture (knock-knock jokes, "Doggie in the Window," etc.) as his jumping-off point, Sluyter manages to present enlightenment in a way that anyone can connect with. He writes with a wonderful openness that embraces Zen, Jesus, rock 'n' roll and Mad magazine in one big hug - yet he never goes New Age sloppy, but lays out the What's What of spiritual development with precision. A must!
