Follow the authors spiritual journey with a distinctly eastern flavour. At times I found it a little slow and found at times I could not relate to parts of.
An interesting book but it felt a little too religious based for me!

With apologies to the author and publisher for the brevity of this review, I regret that this book wasn't really for me. To be honest, I didn't finish the book - in fact, I didn't get very far into it at all before I decided that it wasn't what I was looking for. I was hoping for a book which provided an insight into how to follow a spiritual path and perhaps where to look for help. However, the portion of the book that I read dealt solely with the author's own experience and his own road to spirituality. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, of course, it just wasn't what I was looking for. The book is competently written and the author has an engaging style, and as long as you know what to expect from the book, I am sure it will prove to be very enjoyable.

This was a very interesting book. It has the feel of a journal in the way the information is presented. I really like the breakdown of the tools.

This book takes an empathetic approach and gives bite size approaches and allows you to have kindness and patience with yourself when dealing with life. This is so necessary for everyone to read in life. Highly recommend. Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

'The Spiritual Path' by Gregory David Roberts is a journal of sorts that documents the steps that the author took on his spiritual path. It is very detailed in how the author logically derived at the existence of a Divine entity to which he offers his Seva, Acknowledgement, Surrender, Worthiness, Submission, Renunciation and Devotion.
He also lists out the details of the tools and techniques that he has adapted in his spiritual journey to get in touch with the 'Divine' and meticulously notes of how he felt in the process of doing so on a day to day basis. This would be a good book for any spiritual practitioner to understand the ground realities as encountered by one seeker and to see if any insight can be gained for one's own benefit.
