NOMINATED FOR 2005 BOOK OF THE YEAR FROM SMALL PUBLISHERS!

Suffused with a unique brand of irreverent humor, this account recalls the autobiographical explorations of the most significant alternative communities, ashrams, gurus, shamans, and consciousness-raising seminars of the past 40 years. Serving as a human guinea pig for many of the most popular cutting-edge New Age, human potential, and spiritual experiments, Eliezer Sobel recounts intercontinental adventures in India, Israel, Brazil, and Haiti. From Primal Therapy to the Dalai Lama, this perceptively witty analysis includes brushes with cults, wild experiments with sex and psychedelics, and encounters with visionary gurus and contemporary madmen.

The author took to reading very early in life, and till now, this has been his passion. This made his understanding of things in life quite different and deep. Over the years, he learned many life lessons and practiced them, achieving results much better than others. Once he started teaching, he realised the students during the last few years still had no idea what life was all about before plunging into demanding careers. He wanted most of his students to excel in their careers and lives. He started sharing the life lessons he had learned with his students. Some of his life lessons have been narrated here. Many of the students shared with him that these life lessons have enabled them to achieve a better version of themselves.
