Summary: A-1
Review: Among the very many books I have read that attempt to bridge the gap(s) between Eastern and Western religions, this is the only one that does it seamlessly.If you have any interest in a non-cultist perspective on meditation and Buddhism, this is it. Justin P. Healy

Summary: Great Book, One of the best I have ever read.
Review: I recommed this book to anyone that is interested in finding peace within themselfs. This book has peaked my interest with meditation and I am now practicing meditation every morning. I do feel more in control of my emotions and find myself more patient with everyday issues.

Summary: A Book for Almost Everyone
Review: This book is about self-discipline of the mind (the need and how-to). Lust, obssessions, greed, etc. are common weakness that we need to overcome. There are times which we also lose control of our temper, etc. This book discusses such issues, too and it aims to help us improve our character. It uses words of wisdom from famous religious "personalities" such as Christ, Buddha, Krishna, etc. which make a lot of sense but it does not preach any religion (that's the good thing about it). It also includes at the last chapter, the author's "Eight-Point Program"---a meditation and day-to-day living program that anyone of any religion can adopt. Almost for anyone... but for the person who STRONGLY DISBELIEVE in existence in any god, he/she may feel uncomfortable about certain parts of the book.

Summary: A life-changing book
Review: This is an extraordinarily clear exploration of the fundamental spritual truths that cross all religious and philosophical boundaries. The writing is simple and conversational, but in its simplicity it leads one step-by-step through layers of insight. I re-read this book frequently, and make sure that everyone I care about has a copy. Everyone who reads it agrees with me as to its depth.
