The Urban Monk: Eastern Wisdom and Modern Hacks to Stop Time and Find Success, Happiness, and Peace by Pedram Shojai

3.0

This wasn't horrible, just not very enlightening either - mainly a lot of the same generic self-help stuff that has been recycled ad nauseum. The 'woo-woo' is kept to a minimum though (other than a few shout outs to ayahuasca and shamanism!) and there are some links to his website that are helpful. Two minor complaints...for a spiritually enlightened guy, he uses 'shit', 'crap' (and even a couple of f-bombs) a lot! Secondly, whenever he is talking about Urban Monks he uses feminine pronouns, which I initially thought nice ...until he switched to male pronouns on the chapter about money ...sexism much? Why not just use gender non-specific ones instead (i.e., they, their)?
