This book is a must read if you wonder about why we’re here and how to heal each other and the planet. An adventure story laden with life changing insights . However, much of the teachings in this book have been appropriated from cultures who have honored these insights forever. The way indigenous characters were treated in the text was also distasteful and did not lend credit to any of these practices. Finally the exoticism in this book supported harmful notions that one may only reach spiritual enlightenment in a place like Peru.
