The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsky: The Creator of El Topo by Alejandro Jodorowsky

zachwerb's review against another edition

At times it can feel like zen dribble(but isn't that the point?). He has insights into living a spiritual life that are incisive for creatives. Good for seeing a spiritual path that does not involve joining a monastery and devoting your life to it.

Jodorowsky's life was just as wild as his films.

Written simply and vividly, at a cracking pace, this deeply enjoyable book expands the mind of the reader through the devastating combination of Zen-infused insight, salacious yarns, and a brutal, compassionate honesty about human being.

this took me a good while to read. so many large ideas covered. bigger than the self. i really loved the explorations into this notion of a spiritual art. or search for truth. whatever you want to call it. at times it got a bit self promoting/absorbed/macho for me and i found myself questioning his authenticity. that said, i'm glad i pushed through it. can't wait to see some of his films.
