Summary: An insightful book
Review: Subtitled The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Mr. Gandhi uses anecdotes of situations in his life to illustrate his hunt for the truth in his and others'lives. The amazing thing is how well the anecdotes are expressed. With each story, Mr. Gandhi reveals himself to actually be the legendary figure that he became during the struggle by India for its independence from England.An insightful book, one that will help anyone who wishes to understand this man by viewing pieces of his life through his eyes. I recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone who is interested in Gandhi, or even in the inner-workings of people's minds.

Summary: Towering personality, excellent book
Review: The book is truly the story of his experiments with defining his life style and credos: it is not a chronicle of the struggle with the British Empire.
It is an excellent description of his personal journey toward a philosophy that preaches extreme humility and non-violence. The towering personality of this man is evident especially in moments of contrast with the rest of the world, when normal people attack him and he responds with grace, kindness and respect. The apparent simplicity of his philosophy hides the greatest challenge we have as humans: to control ourselves, to conquer our inside before even thinking of influencing the outside. Obviously, the shortcut everybody takes is to neglect the all-too-difficult control of the inside for the much easier conquest of the material world.
His search for Truth is a real adventure: perhaps the only adventure we should all pursue. His quest ties together with Zorba, the Bible, Jim Rohn: Truth will set you free, free to amend your errors, to live your own life, to blossom to the person you are really set to be. But Truth is upstream, as any other great thing: it is difficult to pursue.
And Truth can only be achieved through joyful service rendered to others.
