5.0 out of 5 stars Meaningless, Perplexing, then Insightful, 22 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I was unfamiliar with the storytelling style of de Mello, yet bought this book about 8 years ago when a friend recommended it. At the time the stories seemed meaningless and bland. They did not live up to the recommendation.

However, two years ago I was introduced to de Mello's video series entitled "A Way to God for Today" which inspired me to give "One Minute Wisdom" another try. To my delight I found the stories filled with humor, surprise, insight, and potency.

These stories are not bound by any one religious tradition. It seems to me that they enter into the cental Reality of all the great religious traditions of the world. The "spiritual masters" mentioned in the book are never named, but could be Catholic priests, Hindu sages, Buddhist monks, Jewish rabbis, or Islamic mystics.

Give yourself a treat and read "One Minute Wisdom." Then, as de Mello himself says in the book, get rid of it. If yo! u keep it (or any book) too long and come to depend on it, it will become a poison! So wake up! Be free!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lessons in spirituality--not religion, 1 Mar 1999
By A Customer
De Mello provides a treasure map for spriritual seekers. This little book of stories is similar to Noah benShea's Jacob the Baker ... Gentle Wisdom for a Complicated World. Jewels of comfort and direction can be found in the simplicity of the short meditations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Profound, paradoxical, inspiring, 23 Jul 2001
By vieira@hydra.ci.uc.pt (Lisboa, Portugal) - See all my reviews
I believe that we are spiritual and religious beings. For firthy years I look for several texts and authors to look for some inspiration and understanding the meaning of God. I found in Anthony de Mello just exactely what I was looking for. An ecletic book containing very rich perls of wisdom to all the ones that are capable to see them.

I have read hundreds of books on these topics, but I cannot recommend any book higher than this one (and some others from A. De Mello).

Read it, once, and then again, and again. Dont give up till you find the deep meaning contained in its paraboles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and Funny in One.
I got this book from a nearby bookstore and was thoroughly impressed. It really made me look within. Some of de Mello's other books seem to be interesting as well. Read more
