Synopsis

Is your spiritual path a road to hell paved with good? Most spiritual books offer advice. "The Anti-Wisdom Manual" takes a different approach by describing what behaviours block the spiritual path. With wry compassion, this is a spiritual handbook in reverse, alerting readers to the common traps many sincere seekers fall in to. Whatever their chosen way, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, or Jewish, the manual highlights how sincere seekers: nip awareness in the bud; use emotions to stay stuck; use the mind to stay entertained; antagonise friends and family with spiritual savvy; become deaf through well-rehearsed spiritual rhetoric; undermine relationships with spiritual mentors; make enormous mountains out of insignificant molehills. The humour never overshadows the message, but like a true magnifying glass, clarifies confusion, false beliefs and pseudo-spiritual certainties; and deals a severe blow to spiritual righteousness and ideology.
