bookshelves: leadership-individual, worldview

I hated almost every minute of this book but had to read it for a class. de Mello combines Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and New Age worldviews mixed with a dose of radical individualism to create a spirituality devoid of any significant beliefs except for the fact that we don't need other people if we are aware of ourselves.

Throughout the book there were sentences and sometimes paragraphs that I thought were insightful. But I continually found myself wishing that I was finished with this book. FINALLY, I am. Don't waste your time.

Takes all people to make up a world I guess. I didn't want it to end.

Loke-Lewis Vanessa the person responsible to add this book to a reading list for a class had to have either paid for a session with the "master" n became "aware" OR had to have been bribed to add this book on said list.
