Be Here Now by Ram Dass
4.0
I've listened to the Be Here Now talks in some variation around three times this year. I had yet to check this book off as read though, because I thought I might be missing something that was in the book that did not make it through in Ram Dass' talks.
There was not. And that's ok. This book is brilliant, and I know I'm on GoodReads, but Ram Dass, like Alan Watts, is such a prolific entertainer and orator that it is really difficult for me to recommend you READ them.
Ram Dass might be my favorite of the counter-cultural figures that emerged in the sixties, and his journey from Harvard to India and back is great fun. His love for God and his humanity are rare dazzling gems in the modern age.
This illustrated edition adds some value to the book as a coffee table piece or for intrigue purposes, but I'd direct people interested to his talks.
