bittersweet_symphony's review
4.0
This time we follow Joe along for a final visit with his former teacher. Alongside him, the Holy Man brings his reluctant, but soon to be, successor, Anna.
It's more of the same, from the previous book, which isn't to say it is unnecessary or lackluster. It's satisfying to spend more time with Joe, and to have more tries at seeing the ways in which each of us gets stuck in our "ego," trapped in samsara. I still recommend this book for the same reasons as the first. It's very accessible, warm, and provides a gentle reminder that "each of us is holy."

A sequel to the author's first book.
Joe and Anna take a trip to Cambodia to see Joe's teacher. It's all about the journey, always.
Again, I will be revisiting this book many times in the years to come. Full of humour, life's lessons and thoughts to mull over.

Better for me than the first book! The holy man takes a pilgrimage with the woman who will succeed him and teaches her as they encounter dangers and challenges (opportunities?) together. Full of parable-style significance and wisdom, hope, and heart-warming friendship.
