De Mello will takes you on a journey with his transcripts of lectures and enlightenment. This is not for the feint of heart. Dedicate time and let go ! This single book will change your life only for the better beyond what you may imagine!! Non denominational, although De Mello was a Jesuit Preist. The catholic church did not agree with the philosophies and had all literature removed! A POWERFUL READ !!! AWARENESS in every sense of the word transcends the norm of societal values to the pure and raw natural beings we truly are. Please see " THE WAY TO LOVE" also by Anthony de Mello!

There is some wisdom (& entertainment) in here but I was put off by his guru-ness & tendency that goes with this to repeat a statement that sounds true, but without deconstructing it so that it doesn't need to be endlessly repeated.
This book came highly recommended by Tim Ferris and a podcast guest, if I remember correctly, but a few chapters in it was just not resonating with me at all, and I've abandoned it. To me it felt outdated, out-of-touch, and cynical. Perhaps I've just read too much other, similar, but better stuff. Perhaps I'm the cynical one. Either way, it didn't grab me, it didn't interest me, and it's not going to waste any more of my time.
Amazing book. Audio version suffers from poor recording quality, but still. I don't consider myself spiritual yet this book was very thought provoking. There are a bit of mumbo-jumbo-knows-everything-guru parts but if you can look past that - can not recommend it enough.
