Review (last 5 for this product, read more)
By Rachel Keene View ProfileThe sub title to this book is “An Investigation of conscious Living and Conscious Dying.”
A sentence that stood out for me to give you an idea of what to expect from the book. “We have gotten so used to looking outside of ourselves that we have forgotten to ask who it is that’s looking.”
It is an investigation, which at times made me feel slightly uncomfortable, but Stephen Levine writes in a way meant to stir up these feelings and to make us question who we think we are, mostly from a predominantly Buddhist perspective. The first chapters were hard going at times, but later in the book there is a great section on working with pain with some useful meditations.
By the end of the book I was exhausted! I wouldn’t say I was happy, but I was certainly more introspective and asking more questions about life and what is important.
It is a very powerful book, but not one to be read unless you are prepared for some really deep thinking, and to be shocked as well as enlightened. Not for the faint hearted reader but worthwhile nonetheless!
