Wisdom from Anthony de Mello [KPF format - Kindle Previewer]

Tony’s inclusive approach, which integrates both eastern and western theologies, makes for a practical spirituality that enlightens the world to a simple, yet groundbreaking concept: to attain happiness, you need only wake up to the fact that you already have everything you need to be happy.

Your culture has hypnotized you like a stage magician hypnotizes a person to see what is not there, and not see what is there. But suppose there was a way of waking up from your nightmare so that all that is false and neurotic within you would drop, and your eyes would open to the reality of joy surrounding you? Would you want that?

This book is an anthology of some of his talks not covered by the published books. You will find dozens of books authored by Anthony de Mello through various sources, but not this one. In his inimitable style, these talks, interspersed with stories and anecdotes as he is wont to do, summarize his philosophy on varied subjects with one objective – to WAKE YOU UP!

Every page contains a nugget of wisdom that can be found and applied to any situation. It is that potent. This should be the one book you finish reading this year, if any. A spiritual advisor who can help you comprehend the bigger picture, help you make decisions, and help you put life and yourself in perspective. Let this book persuade you to wake up and take stock of who you are and where you fit in the world.
