A Mix Of Radical Empiricism And Cognitive Psychology At It's Finest

This larger than life persona did so much in his lifetime in bringing forth the dualities people live by that I consider him to be perhaps the greatest exponent of freedom and self help "guru" available to the general public. His teachings became institutionalized perhaps something he would negate in retrospect,yet the messages he brought in regard to living intensly with awareness,observation and meditation as a living process not a mechanical fixture that one can employ is fresh and unique coming from an Easterner in these days of Buddhist and other forms of meditation.Life and living is one long meditation and living with "What Is" NOT "What Should Be" is also a message psychologists seem to harp on these days in regard to negative thoughts and thinking.Thought Breeds The Thinker. Acceptance of the real, rejection of judgement to penetrate and see one's motives brings on a life of choiceless awareness which is a life being fully lived.Every grain of sand becomes holy and meaningful by this radical form of acceptance of both joy and pain. This book is one of his finest capturing key topics on his ideas in a very readable exciting form.Any reader of K knows that reading his books is often a process of repetition of ideas with modifications that is worthwhile.This book is a classic better than the excerpts presented in many of his other published works.
