One of the best books I've read
Tony De Mello uses stories which seem almost meaningless at first, but suddenly they hit you with a bang & you almost understand all the implications. The more you think of them, however, the more you learn from them. I've changed a lot since I started reading Tony De Mello. He makes you realize what the bare necesseties of life are & you learn to live without frills & fancies, concentrating on the most important aspects. His stories are sometimes like a slap in the face becoz you realise that you're seeking happiness & fulfilment in the wrong places. I especially like his audio cassettes, I've learnt a lot from listening to them. I am from Bombay, India & feel so fortunate to be exposed to many of his books right from the eighth grade.
