What I found interesting about this book is that it seemed to make an honest effort to explain non-dual experience to the reader. Most books that discuss non-duality shroud the concept in mystery so it's hard to even believe that they are talking about something really important. This was the first book that really convinced me that there is something awesome behind the idea of non-duality and that I should try to understand it. Despite the books attempts at explanation, I still don't understand what non-duality really means, but it did provide some good analogies, like the optical blind spot.

You can really tell that the author is very intelligent and rational, though he discusses some things that are typically associated with irrationality. It was very interesting seeing such a clear-minded approach to the topic of spirituality.
