This review is from: The Journey of Self-Discovery (Hardcover)

I've read numerous books on Psychology, Philosophy, Leadership, Self help/development and other all-time best sellers. Somehow, I was not satisfied. Then, I happened to read a couple of books on Vedic knowledge. This book is a must-read if you are interested in the ultimate knowledge. I'm sure you will agree that this book will bring a very positive perspective about life and will benefit you much. For me, It's been a life changing experience. I'm still immerested in the greatness of this book. It's a section on western phiolospheres (Freud, Greek philosopher) which is very good. Now, I don't need to look for anymore best sellers. I'm happy.

The Science of Self-Realization (by the same author) is also equally good. My suggestion is pick either of these books. If you like the first one, you can get the 2nd one.

If you don't know who you are or where your going, this small book will get you started on the right road to self discovery. A very easy read. Very non-threatening.

3.0 out of 5 stars not what is expected, July 20, 2010

This book isn't bad, it's just not what I expected. It does address common questions that some people may have, but I get the feeling that any of the information presented can be found in actual text and scripture. It kinda feels like the rants of people trying to convince.
