I suspect my first pass at Ram Dass’ Journey of Awakening was like my first pass at meditation—fidgety, distracted, determined. Learning new things does not come easily for me, most especially things requiring me to sit still, but I found Dass’ book to be interesting, encouraging, and supportive of my efforts to learn how to meditate. While some of the writing and anecdotes are a little dated, overall I thought this was an easy-to-read, easy-to-digest “meditator’s guidebook.” Its sense of humor adds to its likeability.

Done reading it... But not done using it. A book I will keep at my side for a long time to come.

In my top 10 most life-changing books of all time for sure. A lovely, all-encompassing, beautiful and intelligent reference source for all people diving in to their spirituality and divine center.

A good book, not a riveting book. Elementary.

Really enjoyed this easy to read and engaging guide for anyone interested in developing a meditation practice. It has aged well, and the majority of the content remains relevant, despite the drastically different world we live in. Ram Dass’ writing is clear and concise, but humorous and enjoyable. Lots of lovely quote and illustrations. I imagine that as I progress on my meditation journey, I will return to this guide again and again.
