Overrated
This title is one of thos that you oft hear mentioned and rarely discussed. In maintaining an active interest in philosophy I was quite eager to tackle this somewhat enigmatic work. What I encoutnered was a pseudo-biographical work that presents it's ideas and concepts slowly, poorly and seemingly as condescendingly as possible. I would only advise those well versed in classical greek philosophy to even consider this text. The areas of the text pertaining to Zen Buddhism are very welcome and far to short . . . even if the points made are rudimentary and well known today. .

It's Amazing
I wasn't raised as anything, Christian Jew or otherwise. For a long time, I struggled with finding religion. Eastern religions have held the most appeal for me, since I am an intellectual type. However, this book is good for reasons beyond the mundane. If you enjoy thinking about abstract concepts, and second-guessing deep-rooted beliefs about what life is and why we're here, this book is for you.

Philosophic talk easy to understand
I'm just finishing to read it. This book will become one of my favorites very soon.
It is amazing how easy the writer drives the story and gets in to deep topics and conflicts of our daily life. That makes the book a great source of common sense and wisdom and makes easier to understand the reality.
If you are a person interested into find out the source of many problems or conflicts this book can be very helpful. If you would like to expand your criteria for analysing different realities this book can be helpful.
It is a bit too long but it is so easy to read. . . For sure I will read it more than once to find details I couldn't keep before.
I'm even using the book for supporting my work like manager. It helps me to make evident some kind of problems and supports very good the process of finding solutions.
