Interesting and Honest
"‘You Are The Guru’ is a very candid read and it certainly resonated with me. It covers a lot of the subjects that I have been reading about in other books over the past few years. A lot of books I read I see as being in my life because they are part of my spiritual journey, books that link into each other, this is one of those. The books appear in harmony with my development and almost always confirm my level of insight. In this respect I found the book very readable, when a book fits your view and you find yourself nodding in agreement at every other line you tend to read it quite quickly. I get a kind of energy from books like this.
I found the book got more interesting as I progressed towards the end. The chapter called ‘opening the doors’ was interesting, it tells the life story of the author and it puts the rest of the book in perspective, the style of writing begins to make more sense and the outlook of the book becomes clear once you understand where the author is coming from.
Old well known Buddhist and mystical beliefs are shown to be effective for the author who used and reinterpreted them to help him overcome alcoholism and mental health issues.
Really the book is an insight into the mind of somebody who has found a level of stability in his life after not having any; it shows a view of religion and society that a lot of people can understand and it offers some interesting ideas for dealing with life. I think people who had similar backgrounds to the author and who may be facing the same problems he faced will get a lot from this book. For me it was nice to see ideas and conclusions that I have myself written down in a very honest way by somebody else. There is a lot of wisdom in this book coming from an interesting angle and it also has a few very simple but effective exercises that you can easily do.
