There's plenty I don't like about the New Age movement in general and this book in particular. Since I'm not writing a book, I'll just focus on one thing: the inherent racism.
How could the New Age be racist, especially inherently so? After all, it draws from all over the world and every group of people. And that's the problem. Indigenous people may have part of the truth, but to cherry-pick the good parts and put them all together takes a white person. Preferably a wealthy white person. Preferably a wealthy American white person.
Don't worry, tribal people. They're not stealing your culture. They're just patronizing it.
I don't recommend this book.
