How to Meet Yourself [Paperback]

The guide is friendly, clear and intelligent, with well documented research. Katie Davis, author of Awake Living Joy Fluid and engaging, I highly recommend it.

`How to Meet Yourself' takes the mainstream by the hand and pragmatically leads them away from where they believe that they are in their minds, to where they actually are here and now in Heart. The guide is friendly, clear and intelligent, with well documented research.

It is an excellent study for an intelligent novice on the path to reality. No one who will read it with an open heart can fail to benefit greatly.

This is a good, even very good introduction to Advaita philosophy. There are two things in particular that impress me about the book. First, its honesty in being open and clear that it is written by someone who is in the throes of asking the tricky questions of Advaita for himself. And second, a persistent taking of the reader into confidence, so that that there is a careful and sympathetic consideration of common everyday experience, with a gradual and very clearly reasoned transition to Advaita enquiry. So I would whole-heartedly recommend the book. For its clear and simple presentation of ideas and information, I would say that it is outstanding, among other books and writings that I have come across on the subject it describes.

Great Questions of life itself:"What is the meaning and purpose of existence? What is reality? Who am I really and can I ever hope to discover the Truth?" The Author skilfully invites the Reader to move such philosophical inquiries past their historical roots and to enter the quantum-like universe of non-duality.(I.e. In spite of appearances to the contrary, there's still only one Consciousness.)By not shying away from addressing the paradoxical questions that arise in this age-old inquiry, Dennis successfully weaves a compelling inner tapestry that encourages the Reader to willingly embrace life being exactly as it is. Readable, relevant and recommended.

A work of popular philosophy from an Eastern perspective, this analyses our perennial search for happiness and explains why we can't find it in modern lifestyles, pleasure or fame. It enlists the help of polls by sociologists, findings of evolutionary psychologists, historians, philosophers and others, as well as drawing on personal experience and examples, to show that true happiness is to be found in realizing that we are not separate from everything else-whether people, objects, or happiness itself.

Dennis Waite has previously published The Book of One (O Books), and is recognized as a world authority on Advaita, maintaining the largest website on the subject. He lives in Bournemouth, England.
