Dynamite comes in small packages, they say.
"I Don’t Want to be Your Guru, but I Have Something to Say" by Joyce Shafer only has 54 pages, but it contains the punch of a parcel of dynamite! The really catchy title struck a chord immediately I read it, because there are far too many superstar gurus around today.
When I started reading, I kept thinking: "Yes, good point! I’ll mark this page." Then I’d say the same thing on the next page, and the next. I soon realized that there is a gem of wisdom on virtually every page. Many had more than one!
What I really liked about this story is the easy conversational telling. Here we have a really clever use of fiction to get really important messages across very effectively, devoid of the dogma often attached to booksteaching important life-lessons. This conversation combines age-old teachings with quantum physics making it an up-to-date manual for life. Absorbing Old Bill’s philosophy into our own lives is sure to bring greater happiness and joy. However you use it, you need to read this book. My suggestion: Get it. Read it. Think about it. Blend these principles into the foundation of your being. Repeat as necessary.
