It's undoubtedly an interesting book, but it's also beautifully written. Any reader would be hard pressed not to be interested simply because of the way in which the author engages the reader. As well as the historical education, I took away some great techniques -- that I already use daily to my betterment -- and a philosophy of my own own that simply strives for tranquillity -- my preferred state. This is absolutely not a religious book -- which would be wasted on me. It requires no belief in anything remotely metaphysical. It's wholly introspective in a very positive way. It's not explosive, more a series of gentle nudges, any of which you can ignore.
