Amazon.com: Awareness By Anthony De Mello

Amazon.com: awareness by anthony de mello

$13 bucks on Amazon, I'm 3/4 of the way through, and it's really got me thinking. I've found it very readable, I'll ready a new section every day or two: every "chapter" has has had a interesting idea at the bare minimum, a deep important perspective shift if it hits you at the right time.

I consider “perspective shifts” to be very important. My metaphor for thinking of them is “donning a new pair of glasses…” Friends of mine are so mired in a particular worldview that I find it almost impossible to communicate with them because my worldview is so divergent in one or two fundamental places. I was thankful today to be riding with one of those friends for several hours, and had the opportunity to power through to a level of better understanding.
