I've read books like that too where I don't subscribe to all that they purport, but can still find them entertaining. Thanks for the review! Amy, I figured that was sort of what you meant.

Now I could kick myself. Great review! Hopefully next time I'll know better. :) I turned down the chance to read this book because I thought it would be too “out there” for me.

I've noticed that after having kids & starting to care about geneology, now I'm interested in history. I am starting to enjoy books that give glimpses of the past :) I was never really interested in history while in school.

But the Frida plays a role in this book. Lisa, the answer to all of life being found within me is the sort of idea that I generally don't agree with. ;) I do believe we need to come to peace with ourselves, though, and know who we are.

Was there something specific about the author's philosophy that you disagreed with or was it more the "new age" philosophy in general?
