I took this book with me on a trip to Costa Rica and on my long bus rides here and there in between absorbing the beautiful landscape of the rainforest i was so well taken care of by reading this book. Now sure its not gonna grab your attention with drama or over excitement but it is really insightful and gentle. I enjoyed this book the first time reading it, knowing that i'd grasp it better on a second go around. I have this and many of hua ching ni books in my library and i receive him as well as the other "guides"/authors(Osho,Emmet fox,Arnold ehret, Thomas troward,Paul coehlo) that i have gravitated toward as beings that are kindred to my being. For those who dismiss him as phoney---so be it to them. Let your discerning heart decide.
