Many Christians (and other theists) accuse atheists not being spiritual, many atheists accuse Christians (and other theists) of being idiots. There are as many "idiot atheists" as there are "idiot theists." This book is an excellent guideline for both theists and atheists for a genuine quest towards spirituality.

I consider myself a hopeful, spiritual, implicity critical, explicitly skeptical, agnostic atheist. This book does an excellent job of demonstrating what "true" "spirituality" is all about. Spirituality (in my opinion) is not about religious affiliation, dogma, or fundamentalism; it's not about liberalism or the worship of a supernatural idea; to me, it's about a search for Self, love, truth, and happiness.

It can be a difficult read at times, at other times the aphorisms are amazingly simplistic; either way, you'll be sitting there thinking, "Exactly!" or "Hey, that's so right!" or "Yeah, that makes good sense."

If I had the money I'd give this book to everyone I know, it truly is that good.

Just reading the excerpts, I knew I would like reading it. Some subjects don't immeadiatly bring any understanding or clarity. Then having that subject in recent experience or memory at a later read results in a cascading of "oh yeahs" and "absolutelys". I felt like I was crawling into the authors mind and attempting to see from his view and then put it through my own perspective.
