Anthony De Mello was a gifted writer, and a charismatic teacher but his books certainly aren't in line with a lot of Catholic teaching, which was why concerns have been expressed by the Holy Catholic Church about his writings. Officially we are told to read with 'discernment'. I would advise Catholic readers to take notice of this official advice from the Vatican.
a great work April 5, 2008

It saddens me that some Catholics find this book unchristian - the point is that this book reaches the spiritual truth that is at the heart of every religious tradition. It goes beyond demonination and beyond concepts and beliefs - right to the essence of reality itself, where is nothing but pure consciousness and well-being. Anthony DeMello was a spiritual teacher who just happened to express himself in a Christian framework. But really there's little difference between him and teachers like Eckhart Tolle or Krishnamurti. In fact I came across this book on the recommended reading list on Eckhart Tolle's website, where I have found other fantastic books such as The Fall by Steve Taylor The Fall:the Insanity of the Ego in Human History and the Dawning of a New Era: The Insanity of the Ego in Human History and the Dawning of a New Era.
A wonderful book March 16, 2008
A. Riordan (Stroud, England)
I was introduced to this book about 10 years ago by a Catholic priest at a time when I was thinking about becoming a Catholic. That never happened & my convictions have since changed considerably: Today I'm a convinced atheist (which I had been before my turn to Catholicism) but I still read and re-read this book on a regular basis. It is one of the richest books I have ever read and even though I know it cover to cover, I invariably feel refreshed each time I go to it. It's a book I would like to be able to thank the author for writing, though I know Anthony De Mello died ten years before I was first handed this wonderful book.
Be in charge of your emotions. January 23, 2008

This book will surely broaden your mind.Theres lots of ideas to think about and some very practical help with life.Ive got upset a few times recently where someone insulted me but i couldn't understand why i so upset by insults until i read this book now i can change and be more in control of my emotions.I was impressed with the idea the big question in life isn't is there a God? but what or who am i?.This book like perhaps all spiritual books seems to contradict charity(only give from the heart) and the idea of so much suffering in the world. Neale Donald Walsch in Conversation with God 3 perhaps explains this better as so much we see with our own eyes is an illusion that gives us the opportunity to express who we are in relation to it. Be open minded and explore reality.If everything is energy then everything in life can be an illusion.
I cannot put into words the amount of value within this book... October 23, 2007

The first time I opened this book, I just read it without stopping for a break. After finishing it I went back over to the MANY places in the book where the wisdom just re-shaped my thinking completely. The next day I read it again... and have re-read it too many time to count ever since.
The amount of value, the wisdom, the laughter, the perception of the human condition, the beauty of this book is pretty overwhelming.
If you want to understand the stupidity within the human condition then read this book... If you want to know what happiness really is then read this book. If you want to wake up... read this book.
I would recommend this to anyone who is walking on the planet. It's that good.
