So erm well if you know me you know I don’t go in for all this motivational fluffy self help stuff and if I had known what this was I would never have added it to my library. But I didn’t and I did. So I listened to it.

The book follows the enlightenment of a fat overpaid and burnt out lawyer who gives it all up and journey’s to India and Kashmir where he meets a group of monks who teach him how to get the most from life on the condition that he returns to the US and teaches others. He does this by teaching his former assistant and friend.

Now I’ll say it again, I don’t buy into this stuff and found it tiresome, but listened to the whole thing regardless. It did make me think about my own life however and question if I am really getting what I really desire from it. I don’t think I will be using any of the methods described but will be looking how I can get a better work / life balance.

Overall I wouldn”t recommend this one unless you are into the whole “heal thy self” mumbo jumbo. It”s not particularly long which from my point of view is a good thing.
