Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing

I think that Jed's work is a great introduction to this enlightenment thing. With his personal anecdotes and stories, he makes this book fun to read, along with all the great insights that this book is full of.

I, personally, try to understand what awakening is not, and Jed helps the reader to see that more clearly. The fact that just a typical guy, who likes to ride a bike to mountains and skydive dozens of times a year is at the same time awakened to his true nature, breaks the guru stereotype for me.

He also stresses the point that all the spiritual teachings can be boiled down to one sentence: sit down, shut up and find out what's true about something. That's it. For me, teaching without all the cultural nonsense is the most beneficial and that's exactly what you'll find in Jed's books.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is tired of all the nonsense on the modern spiritual marketplace and is interested in the most straightforward and paradigm shifting information from someone who clearly understands what he is talking about.
