bookshelves: hippy-books, religion

I felt like this guy had a very entitled attitude. He reached his current state of inspiration and enlightenment by essentially dropping out and taking advantage of others. After a few years of couch hopping, mooching off of friends and sitting on park benches he came to these "realizations". He wasn't working, or acting as a contributing member of society in any way. I have a really hard time respecting his self serving attitude.
Plus he doesn't really have anything new to say. For anyone with a basic understanding of eastern philosophy and the major religions all of the content in this book will sound very familiar.
I don't think this book or this author deserves all the hype.
