Thought Provoking, 22 Mar 2011
By Evanston Guy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Essence of Reality: A Clear Awareness of How Life Works (Paperback)
You may or not agree with the premises in this book, but you will find it one of the most thought provoking books you will ever read. I don't think Nehrer has all the answers, but he certainly has a more complete grasp of reality than practically anything else I have ever read. I have been thinking about the material in this book for days after reading it and have certainly changed many of the beliefs/opinions I had about the world. It resonated with my experience. Well, don't just take my word for it, read it for yourself and form your own opinion.

the one book everyone should have on their shelf, 16 April 2009

it is refreshing to find a book that is easy to understand and very straight-forward even though the breadth of his subject matter is not simple and is far-ranging in its scope. nehrer is capable of cutting through the common mis-perceptions dominating society in a clear concise manner. i would highly recommend this book to anyone who really wants to understand how life "really" works.

This is THE book!, 28 Sep 2011
By The Philosopher "The Philosopher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Essence of Reality: A Clear Awareness of How Life Works (Paperback)
I've been a student of life and all its interconnections for very nearly 50 years now. I've been on countless spiritual journeys, and have studied an almost countless number of philosophies, religions and spiritual paths. I've also made serious progress in many disciplines and have been rewarded many times with "Satori" and flashes of deep enlightenment.
In the end, I have found value in almost all of them. And I can always sense how they all have something in common AND that they all have something not quite right in them.
I've also studied many of the great synthesists, such as for example Ken Wilber.
Without the slightest doubt in my mind though THIS is THE book. Like no other work that I have ever touched it clearly shows me how it is all tied together and what the fatal flaw in all of it is.
If you are a serious student or a serious seeker I implore you to get (AND READ/STUDY) this book.
Just for the record, I have no ties whatsoever to the author, nor has anyone influenced me in any way to write this review or to say what I've said.
This book is the real deal - period!
