5.0 out of 5 stars Great News!, November 27, 2000

This review is from: If You Don't Like the News, Go Out and Make Some of Your Own (Paperback)

One of my all-time favorite books is Crazy Wisdom, Nisker's previous work. I was doubtful he could surpass himself, but was pleasantly surprised. If You Don't Like the News... Go Out and Make Some of Your Own is an extremely funny and insightful documentary book covering spiritual contributions (and wishful thinking) from the counterculture to the current New Age. Written from personal experience, Nisker takes us on an intimate journey on the search for spiritual highs and cosmic laughter. Anyone with an interest in meditation, Eastern philosophy, the 60's, New Age ideas, or who enjoys laughing out loud will be grateful to take the plunge into Nisker's hilarious world of wisdom.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Friend, the Book, August 16, 2010

This review is from: If You Don't Like the News, Go Out and Make Some of Your Own (Paperback)

This is more of a testimonial than a book review:
If you feel (the promise of) the '60s era was the last time you felt a joyful, enthusiastic and meaningful commitment to the Human Race, then you'll be like me these days and leading a fairly lonesome life.
When I turn the last page after rereading any of Nisker's books, particularly this one, I always have that wonderful, rare feeling that I've spent some valuable time with a very close, old friend.
