Synopsis

What if you spent years of your life seeking spiritual enlightenment, but were looking in the wrong place over a long time? It's happening right now to millions of seekers around the world. That's why Dr. Robert Forman has written his revolutionary book. Told in often poetic prose, it offers new direction for people looking for a sane and healthy spiritual pathway in our increasingly confusing world. Traditional spiritual models are giving seekers a wrong and frustrating impression about spiritual enlightenment. By exploring his own 39 year experience of spiritual enlightenment, Dr. Forman offers a remedy to folks who are: * Convinced they don't have the right stuff to achieve enlightenment in this lifetime - * Disillusioned by spiritual teachers who don't live up to their lofty self-portraits - * Worried that choosing a spiritual life means leaving their everyday life behind - * Hungry for a different way to be, but unable to express it - Through metaphor, humor, vulnerability and achingly beautiful prose, Dr. Forman's book offers new found hope to spiritual seekers everywhere.

About this title

Review:

'Enlightenment ain't what it's cracked up to be' is a bone-deep description of the decades-long spiritual journey of Robert K. C. Forman, one of America's most respected spiritual teachers. If ever a book was written from the heart, this is it. It is both a summation and an update of a work in progress. Enlightenment ain't what it's cracked up to be describes the dazzling heights of spiritual awareness, but it also lays bare the twists, turns, and surprises of spiritual maturation, warts and all. Beware: If you need your spiritual guide to be serious, elevated, reserved, and pious, go elsewhere. But if you want eye-ball to eye-ball honesty, integrity, and humor supercharged with compassion, love, vulnerability, and deep wisdom, this is your book. --(Larry Dossey, MD. Author: Healing Words and The Power of Premonitions)

I read the book in one long, joyous sitting. I literally could not put the book down. It is illuminating, entertaining and impactful. If your looking for guidance as to what is truly spiritual and enlightening, then read this book. It is definitely chicken soup for the spiritual seeker's soul! --(Jack Canfield, Co-creator of the New York Times #1 bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series)
