This is one of the few books that Rudolf Steiner wrote with the intention of actually being a book. It is beautifully written and filled with amazing insight. I have given this book out as a gift several times already - hoping that the recipients will read when they are motivated to. At first you may wish to read it all at once, but I would encourage a second, slower read - I joined a study group and we spent an entire year reading this - and I will read it again and again (sorry, paperbackswap - it's not coming back)! I believe that the folks who are interested in Steiner will find this a "must" first-read. To be sure, he is not simple! However, much of what he talks about has to do with morality at the deepest level of our being. His path is the "safe" path - you won't find a "10 days to enlightenment" chapter, but rather a careful, thoughtful, and quite beautiful guidebook. This is a book to meditate on - to discuss and one that will hopefully stick with you forever.
