Review Quotes




Charles Eigen invites us to ponder how conditioned we are to fall into thinking as a resolutive resource, being seduced by the illusion of control, unaware of how thinking can lead us away from our self and our experience. So many processes get stuck as we pretend to intellectually understand; such a waste of life! The intricacies of life cannot be solved through thinking, as thoughts can interfere with organismic wisdom, but we are conditioned to turn to thinking. We have an illusion of certainty in which challenges can be solved at that thinking level. This book invites us to a whole-body and heartfelt experience, resulting in an enjoyable ride in the here and now. The message of this book is powerful and life-changing.
