I was raised on this dreck as a religious text. Tried to read it again to annotate and refute it, but got bogged down in its repetitive, self contradictory, and condescending language. It tries to legitimize its ideas by paraphrasing them ad nauseam, but only succeeds in being confusing and emotionally distressing. I have considered writing a book of my own deconstructing the ways in which it glorifies apathy and gaslighting, but trying to break it down into concrete statements for refutation is next to impossible. I'd give it negative stars, if I could.

This book made me want to stab myself in the eye. Look, there’s some point in the tenets, some advice that is valuable, but oh my lord, SHUT UP. Could have been condensed into 200 pages, and still some of it would be total rubbish.

One of those books that changed my life forever. My copy is so beat up from constant use, highlighted like crazy, I just can't get enough. I live by these words... or at least try my best to. I struggled a bit at first, but not like some have claimed, so my suggestion is to read [b:A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"|845977|A Return to Love Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"|Marianne Williamson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1437440428s/845977.jpg|1239848] first. I think I would have read through it more quickly had I not waited to finish this book and then read ARTL. Either way both will change your life.
