A must read for any seeker.
12 Aug 1999
Format:Hardcover
This gem of a book is what I'd call "quietly amazing." That is to say, it's neither dramatic nor sensationalistic, and its subtle impacts may not even be noticed, at least at first. But it can have a profound effect, helping the receptive reader shed many assumptions (such as that a thing's true value is in direct proportion to the degree of emotion it arouses) and other mental "bad habits" that hinder perception, and leaving him or her with a clearer idea of just what it is to seek truth and how to go about it. I say "receptive reader" because author Idries Shah makes it plain that many people who think they seek truth are really seeking excitement, attention or some other form of stimulation, and may not welcome being told otherwise. Although its format is nothing like what one might expect, Seeker After Truth more than lives up to its billing as "a handbook," and yields more each time it's read.

Reality Based Reading
18 July 2001
Format:Paperback
A fascinating collection of question and answers and narratives of various lengths. Most of the material appears straight forward, but a rereading (especially after some time has passed) will often reveal new insights and levels which can be surprising. The breadth and depth of the material will make this a rewarding book for anyone with an interest in reality.

A mirror into ourselves
16 July 2001
Format:Paperback
Reading Seeker After Truth is an exercise in the exploration of ourselves. The stories and narratives are designed to provoke us into seeing hidden motivations and patterns that normally go unnoticed. The stories are deceptively simple and disarming because of their emphasis on people and events that seem at first glance distant and not particularly relevant to our lives. But as the material is read and re-read, patterns begin to emerge which were previously overlooked because of our emphasis on other things. In time, the people and situations in the stories begin to take on new meanings that help us reflect on our daily activities with more insight and clarity. I would recommend this book for all people who would like a secret glimpse into the inner workings of our minds.
