I've read a lot of books on sprituality, and I think this is one of the best I've read to date. It is an "Idiot's Guide" in that anyone can get something out of this book. However, even those who have read many books can learn a lot from it.

The book is a very diverse one--a few chapters on some of the larger religions, some sections on becoming more present in the moment, some stuff on physical actions--something for everybody. Robinson's approach is that we are all climbing the same spiritual mountain, even though we all take different paths. None of the paths are inherently better than any others, but some paths are better for some individuals. Only the individual can know what that path is.

His style is friendly and easy to understand. There is a lot of information in this book, so you'll want to read it a few times to get the most from it. Plus, there are helpful 'asides' to break up the page and give you useful information.

This book will enrich the life of anyone with an open mind. Not only does it talk about spirituality, it goes a step further by encouraging you to practice your spirituality in your everyday life. Robinson teaches many, many helpful techniques that make spirituality practical and worthwhile. I wish I had found this book sooner.

This book is boring! Mostly it is about improving yourself, which any atheist could do. It doesn't talk about life after death either! This book's a loser.
