Thank You Ram Dass

All I can say is this book was life changing.
First read it as a Hippie Kid in '71 & it started me on a profound yogic path

The Book Of Quotable Quotes

One of the more idiosyncratic publications of Hippiedom,'Be Here Now' has retained its now quaint format, with the lrge text revelations on recycled brown paper bulking its core. It's this part of the book that carries the whiff of nostalgia. The biographical data on Alpert's move from successful psychology therapist and LSD experimenter, to guru status is of interest. It's general frame is nothing out of the ordinary, in fact expresses, the middleclass disenchantment of the 60s. The last third of the book,'Cookbook for a Sacred Life' is a compendium of quotable quotes that will never go astray from anyone's daily diary page. Thirty-five years on, one of the strangest things about the book is how much more mainstream the thinking is. And this volume contributed to that paradigm shift.
