Product Description
Product Description
Humans being the most intelligent species and having lived on Earth for thousands of years, we are yet nowhere near to a life of peace, love, joy and harmony. This book contains a story of a young man, Tom, who had conversations with two gurus, Dick and Harry. Guru Dick epitomizes someone from a worldly society who emphasized on the importance of money and power. Guru Harry epitomizes someone from a spiritual society who offered an alternative way of living which can lead to peace, love, joy and harmony. Through these conversations, Tom learnt that (1) why peace is better than happiness as a goal in life, (2) how to be empowered in life, (3) how to achieve freedom in life, (4) how to live with pleasure and without pain, (5) what society should be focused on, (6) what is the objective of education, (7) what are the purposes of life, (8) what are the differences between man-made and divine laws, (9) what are the important spiritual concepts, and (10) how to transform Earth into heaven.

There have been so great books written about 'spirituality' and this book by author, Tommy Wong, is up there among the best. Why do I say that? Well, it explains 'life, death and reincarnation' in easy to understand terms and for me, his arguements are plausible. They relate to all life there has ever been and will ever be. He states that one of the main reasons why we are on the earth is to realize that we are divine and if you doubt that, then go to your inner self and gain spiritual experience through meditation. Some people are put off from meditating because they believe it takes too much concentration, whereas the author's suggestion is to find a quiet place and stop all your senses; that is a simple form of meditation which you will find meaningful. The sooner you come to realise your true self is really a soul and not your body, this will effect a fundamental change in how your will live your life. It will change your attitude which will result in a more peaceful, blissful life. Is not that what everybody truly wants, but look for it outside the body intead of within? It is written in a conversational style with three characters Guru's Dick and Harry talking to Tom about life, describing their definitions of 'success' in the earthly, materialistic sense and the fairer, non-materialistic and more satisfying way to live. It all makes so much sense! If you are a 'Conversations with God' fan, then this book is definately for you. A 5 star rating seems too little for such an excellant book as this.

This was a wonderful, thought changing book. I thought the author did a wonderful job of using the conversations between the two Gurus and Tom to teach the lesson of the book. I was very impressed with the easy of reading such complex ideas. Dr. Wong used "real life" examples, I could almost picture who Guru Dick was (I have met many of these types) and the same for Guru Harry (I only hope to know more people like this in my life). The story Dr. Wong tells has helped me to inspire to be a better person in everything I do.
Format:Paperback
In this book, using conversations with two gurus, Dr. Wong describes a way of life which can lead to peace, love, joy and harmony. He also contrasts this way of life to the common worldly life where money and power are important. Overall, this is a great book for someone who is seeking wisdom on how to live a peaceful life. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
