Format:Paperback
Good guy reporter takes a trip into spiritual America and writes about the landscape. Well written, intriguing, hits many of the "players".
Well intentioned and important. Another 50 books or more like this where a mainstream writer wanders around in spiritual America might have us looking ahead and not in the rear view mirror.
Schwartz comments on his experiences but not to the degree I was looking for. I was fascinated by his angst, midlife goo, wanderlust, spiritual void or boredom. What did that edge yield? I never got a clear sense of his editorial eye but maybe that wasn't what this was about. His journalistic pen was right on. A definite buy for many years.

Format:Paperback
Exciting and useful personal survey of the strength and shortcomings in the various methods for wisdom in the US. I like Schwartz*s journalistic instinct in seeking an inclusive, multi-faceted approach. It will save other seekers a lot of heartache and time. Nevertheless, I wish Schwart put a bit more emphasis in how to persist in the quest for truth. The constant search for yet another technique in meditation, psychoanalysis, dream work, or Enneagram, means that one may devote less energy in a slow but working approach.
Format:Paperback
Tony Schwartz wrote this book for all of us who want a little bit of background on all the sublime "new age" techniques to a more centered existence. He researched the subject matter without much, if any, prior knowledge or experience, which gives a real "everyman" point of view. He researched all that he could, obviously enjoying it thoroughly, and followed it wherever it lead him, just as I would have had I taken the journey. And he expresses his exact feelings on all the things he experienced, as if a friend were relaying his findings to you. And yet, you feel free to make your own judgements. Profound!
