This sermon, The Greatest Thing in the World, has become a classic and is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful texts ever written on love.

Tramping is a way of approach, to nature, to your fellow man, to a nation, to beauty, to life itself.

In this groundbreaking audiobook, neuropsychology professor Chris Niebauer explains how after decades of research on the brain, Western science may have inadvertently confirmed a fundamental tenet of Buddhism: anatta, or the doctrine of "no self". Niebauer shows how findings in neuropsychology suggest that our sense of self is actually an illusion created by the left side of the brain and that it exists in the same way a mirage in the middle of the desert exists: as a thought rather than a thing.

Is this a true story?!
I read two reviews that convinced me to read the book:
1)saying you should read the Alchemist and The Pilgrimage together! And I had loved the Alchemist
2) someone saying they were expecting a story, but on top of the story there were self-help visualisation, media ration, decision making exercises. I jump right in!
And this book exceeded all expectations!

Excellent, Favorite Coelho Book So Far!
What did you love best about The Pilgrimage?
Fantastic example of a well written "hero's journey" style novel.
What other book might you compare The Pilgrimage to and why?
The Alchemist is similar yet very different, loved them both.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Pilgrimage?
Sometimes it takes a real "break" from the routine to appreciate what's already in front of your face!
Any additional comments?
Me = middle aged, educated, married, husband and dad, professional, executive always seeking, learning, finding depth and meaning to life ... if that describes you too, then READ THIS BOOK!

Good story, distracting narration
The tone of the narration remains throughout that which would be used for a Halloween ghost story. If you can bear it and focus on Coehlo's story, then you'll have listened to a good book with an inspiring message.

A different path of the Peaceful Warrior
This was my first book from the author and I'm not even sure what drew me to it, but sometimes the universe just works that way and you go with it. Much like The Way Of The Peaceful Warrior, the book tells a story about a man on a quest he doesn't really fully understand. Along the way, he finds a guide who leads, pushes, and forces inner exploration that takes him to a higher place than he imagined. The book is definitely spiritual, but not religious. Despite being about a pilgrimage along the Road to Santiago with some religious references, the story isn't about church or practices of the church. Rather, it's about one man's quest to find his own connection with the divine within and all around.

Tortuous listening
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
It might be good for someone very spiritual & religious
What was most disappointing about Paulo Coelho’s story?
The reader was one of the 2 worst I've ever experienced with Audible.I assume his style was an attempt to add drama, suspense & mystery to the text, but it was horrendous: overly dramatic, full of lengthy pregnant pauses, affectation, pontification, etc.. The voice of the "teacher" was particularly bad. In addition to the problems previously listed, that character had a foreign accent which came & went. Between the reader's attempts at drama & a sustainable foreign accent, the outcome was dreadful. His interpretation of the narrator's voice was different but equally irritating. The entire work as read was a pretentious, portentous, overblown harangue. It made what is probably a fine book into an excruciating listening experience. I wanted to quit listening after the 1st chapter, but I optimistically forced myself to finish; there was very little improvement.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The book is probably a pleasant and illuminating read, but having heard it read thus, it is unfortunately difficult to separate the style from it's content.
Any additional comments?
I don't like giving bad reviews, but no way this one gets a pass.

Hard-hitting and amazing
What made the experience of listening to The Pilgrimage the most enjoyable?
The narrator's voice was spot on for such a book. It really captured the confusion, desperation and "lost" of that Paulo was experiencing throughout the events, and it instantly starts with such emotion which flows through the entire book. Every time you stop to listen to it, bang, you're right back into the world where you know nothing and are questioning everything, purely because of the superb narration.
What other book might you compare The Pilgrimage to and why?
It's like the Alchemist, but head on full on hard hitting lessons - lessons that make you cringe at times, but worth it.
Which scene was your favorite?
All of it.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It definitely made me uneasy at times... and laugh a few times.
