Even though a short booked (~200 pages), found that it dragged on a bit, especially towards the end. Last chapter is about gurus, death and drugs. Not really interested in the talk of gurus; maybe that is preoccupying for people who are really into this spirituality business and are suckers for charlatans who demand sex or whatever, but not something I think I am likely to encounter. Reading all that made me skim the parts on death, then jumped over the drugs part.
Earlier chapters can be quite good. Still hard to understand, but think there are some interesting reflections on the concepts of consciousness and self.
