A review by kristinaray717
Be Here Now by Ram Dass
2.0
I liked the first part of the book a lot. It describes Ram Dass's journey from Harvard professor to disciple. The second part with Dass's teachings were okay. The last part was kind of like a how-to guide and it was my least favorite part, so I found myself skimming through some of it.
I was surprised he advocated trusting someone else's spiritual experience if you had not had your own, calling that faith. I call that dangerous. Overall it wasn't what I expected: covertly religious, with a lot of hype around gurus.
