The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

Getting in the possession of this book, was like reading a quote of the intro of the book itself. I just returned from Singapore, and was interested in Buddhism and spirituality, and one close friend of my father, and soon to become a friend of mine, made this book a gift..

The story takes us in South America, where the discovery of some ancient texts bring enlightenment to the main characters. I did not enjoy the tale as much as the teachings, or better to say, I appreciated a lot the new perspective on life, human interaction, children raising, self teaching, etc.. that the book brings.

I would associate the book to the same current of ideas as the ones present at Huxley in "Doors of Perception", or Carlos Castaneda.
