Easily in the top 5 most important books I've ever read.  I listened to the audio book first, but there are parts that have to be read and thought about/discussed/digested for days, so I read the book as well.

It is wordy in places, it drags on at times, but Ayn Rand's ideas are so on point, so consistent, and so completely unlike anything you will ever read anywhere else...this is a must read.

This book is a milestone in my life.  I am a different person after having read it.  If you are interested in:
- The purpose of life
- Morality/Ethics
- Love
- Economics
- Industry/Business

This book will very likely change the way you think about all of these.

I have read hundreds of spiritual oriented books and "Dying to be Me" is simply the most important book I have ever read!  The message is so simple and yet so profound and if embraced will change your life forever.

I'm about 1/3 of the way through this book, and I must say it is one of the single most important books ever!  If you understand some of the teachings of Abraham-Hicks, the Bible and other spiritual teachings, you will love this.  It is important to know that if you are not drawn to read this book, then you may not be ready to receive the teachings, but if you are, don't hesitate to get it!  You may not read it right away, but when you do, you will be glad you did.  This book applies to every aspect of your life, and will help you to make a huge impact on your life, and the lives of others.

I've purchased many books to help with my writing, and this one is, by far, now the most important one in my library!

This book is honestly one of the most important that I have read. In my own life spirituality has become a journey of confusion, hope, doubt, and faith. I have read many books about spiritual life in order to find meaning and make my journey real and personal. Most books speak of spirituality and seeking in terms that are cold and impersonally religious. The Seeker's Way is a beautiful story that gives me permission to have courage and even pride in my journey. I feel encouraged to embrace these longings, not through systematic formulas, but through a lifestyle that brings hope to my own seeker's way. I would strongly recommend this book to everyone, those whom are currently spiritually seeking and those who don't know they are yet. Peace, jared

This has to be the most valuable book on the market. Less than 5 dollars, read it in an hour or 2, but it is so dense with content that is easy to understand and apply right away. The best part, I had the honor of going on a trip to Nicaragua with Ken Dec. 2017 and I got to meet him before I knew he wrote this book. The man is real, and he lives this book. It will play a part in my life changing story, it will for you too. Glory to God!!

Not happy about having to write my very personal reaction to this book in such a public forum, but am motivated by my intense desire to communicate how important the book has been for me, and possibly could be for others.
Like I believe many people, I find myself often addicted to a particular handheld, mindless electronic game. Some days, I spend hours on this. I do it to cope with stress. Traumatized as a child, I found that if I created rushes of adrenalin, by creating dangerous situation in my teenage life, for example, it warded off suicidality and all manner of emotional dysfunction. That was a very long time ago, but neuronal pathways are stubborn. I'm deeply ashamed and embarrassed by this addiction. It does indeed create rushes of adrenalin that successfully cut off my emotional life.
About five days before I heard the Snap Judgment interview, Personal Jesus, which led me to buying this book, I'd deleted the game app from my phone and began meditating.
Hearing the podcast, I couldn't stop thinking about Chris. I bought the ebook the next day and read most of it that night, the rest the next morning.
I'm sure Chris didn't intend for, or realize that his life would become a beacon, calling many people trapped inside an electronic bubble, back home. But this is what it did for me.
Fifteen or so years ago, I had the one and only spiritual experience of my life, where I was sitting doing nothing (a very unusual state for me) and I clearly heard the words in my head 'welcome home, I've been waiting for you'. I immediately felt a deep sense of peace, and fell asleep. I've been able to return to that ever since - not always when I want or at call, but it's there.
This morning, when I sat in meditation, listening to sounds (birds in Lake Como) and simply feeling my own presence in the soundscape, I thought of Chris and the book, and began sobbing. Only for less than a minute, but I knew it was some part of myself grieving for the another part of myself that had wasted so much precious lifetime in mindlessness disconnection with myself and the world around me.
I think this is an important story of the moment. Thank you Michael and Chris.

This book is easy to read, but electrifying.  I read it when I was twelve, and it changed my life forever.  I cannot imagine what kind of person I'd be if I had not read this book.

Of all the books I've read with technical basis, intending to introduce the reader to scientific or mathematical theory - this is among the most entertaining and important I've ever read.

The information in it may be too commonplace for some scientists or mathematicians, but I'd heartily recommend it to the ordinary person who's curious about the world around them!

(& To the scientists and mathematicians I'd still say ... just give a whirl.) :)

Amazing!  I haven't finished reading it yet, but it has already had a profound effect on my life.

This book....THIS BOOK-

Possibly the most influential book in my life thus far, at least in my top three.

I started listening to it on audible (fantastic narrator by the way) because I was looking for guidance on writing. This book is definitely not only about writing. I am a professional counselor as well and I have taken away so many gems for my own healing as well as tools I can use to help my clients. I can't say enough about this book. It's raw. It's heartfelt. It's beautiful. It sings the words to tunes I'd forgotten for decades. Definitely not only about writing.

I could see immediately the personal passion which he has put in to this book.  It isn't just another off-the-shelf help-me-quick guide like many other books, but an insight journey in an easily readable format.  You can read it in a day or three and take from it what you want, but its much better to take it a chapter at a time and reflect on what hes putting over to you.  I secretly like to think he wrote this book for me because right now it is the book which has helped me raise the bar a bit higher in my life just when I needed it.

I have never before read a book that did so much to change my life. As a pancreatic cancer survivor, I have already lived more than a year longer than anyone thought I would at diagnosis. I give credit to a lot of people and tools, and this book is absolutely one of the top 3 reasons I still live and feel good. BUT it is also an excellent reference for anyone who wants to remain healthy, attain peace, and live to the fullest. Much of the content concerns the relationship between the mind, body and spirit, but beyond that, it reveals a surprising amount of scientific research that has now proved many things that 30 years ago would have been considered hippie ju-ju, especially by the medical community. Now, medical science is not only proving, but starting to believe and use this research in saving, and extending lives. The ideas are exciting and the science that is now solidly behind them is most validating. After a stunning and frightening diagnosis, heavy drugs, depression and chemotherapy, it took me a while to focus on finishing the book, but I couldn't stop. I'm now on my second reading (going much faster, thank you). It is always by my side and is dog-eared and highlighted within an inch of its life. I've bought several copies for friends and family and recommended it to others extensively. I WON'T lend mine out! It is an important reference for me and I can't let it out of my sight. The book includes a 6-week program of very simple, but powerful "exercises," starting with breathing lessons and visualization. Read it! Keep it! If I can live and feel healthy enough to spend a week running around in New York City, after having been led to believe I'd only live for 2 months, then I guarantee it will do wonderful things for you.

This book will change your life! I found myself wanting to highlight nearly every part it was so full of rich material and words that struck me to the core. This book should be on everyone's priority to-read list!

Hands down, this is the most important book I have ever read in my pagan journey. Not only does it beautifully crystalize how I prefer to walk my pagan path, it also actively illustrates the need for accepting ourselves in the light only through coming to terms with our inherent darkness. I've never highlighted so many paragraphs on my Kindle in my life. Her observations are as thought provoking as they are provocative, but the author does a great job of towing the line without being condescending. It's an elegant blend of common sense, theaology, and spiritual enlightenment.
