• Worthwhile for Westerners
  Well composed material which happens to be based on spiritual teachings of the Eastern thought process that are "translated" into Western understandings. If you want an instruction manual for 'tripping' on psychedelics, or even just an understanding of life that you cannot gain from "civilized" living, then consider reading this book with an open mind and you may find that it cannot get wide enough to wrap your understanding around the far-out notions present in this book so cleverly.

Its still a good read and I think for the price it's worth picking up.
