Insight into life

Life as joy,life as mystery,life as suffering and the God's presence in every place is beautifully explained through a story.lt talks of Indian philosophy and Buddhist ideas.

Had to stop listening

Narrator sounds like a robot. I couldn't listen any longer. Do not buy this version!

This reading was pathetic

Would you try another book from Herman Hesse and/or Victoria McGee?

I have never felt the need to write a review before, but this reading was completley lifeless. Not worth the $3.
