Your outlook on life will be positively changed by reading this simply written but profound little "gem" of a book. Why am I so sure of this? Simply the fact that many people, like myself, are desparately searching to find something meaningful, answers to real questions, and going about it logically (or worse still simply believing what you are told to believe). This book is a testimony to the fact that our whole way of seeking truth is inappropriate to the task.

Whatever religion you are (or even if you have lost faith in God altogether) forget your preconceptions of Buddhism and see things in a radical, but infinately natural, new way. Steve Hagen shows, decisively, that our whole way of thinking about spirituality, religion and ourselves is damaging and counter-productive. His simple yet penetrating way of looking at the world is, at first, shockingly inverted. Yet once past the initial "surprise" you will find, as I did, that many things that once seemed impossible to resolve fall naturally into place.

I am not a Buddhist, but I have learned a great deal from this beautiful book; not least that sometimes a complete perspective shift is needed before you even know that you have a problem!

I am sincerely grateful to Steve Hagen for taking the time to write this amazing book. I aim to do the only sensible thing left to do after reading it - put his words into practice. Read this book and wake up.
