The memoir of a New Age seeker/martial artist, the stories were amazing but also weird and creepy. While the book stretched the realm of possibility it just wasn't inspiring to me; maybe I'm just not far enough along the path but I didn't enjoy this book even though it was well written and interesting if you like the bizarre. If you are deeply into New Age beliefs this might be the book for you; as for me I'd give it a pass.
