🔽🔽 読書記録 🔽🔽
このすぐ前に読んだOshoのThe Book of Manよりもっと苦痛だった。
スピーチなどを集めたもので、読むというより聞くためのものだっただろうけれど、どっちみち私の好みではない。

「私が聞いた話では」ばかりが集められていて、面白いというか噂話のレベルでしかないというか、人の注意を引くためにこなれたジョークをとばす、というのが全体的な印象。

昔からある、古代から守られてきた宗教や習慣がお気に召さないようで、というか憎いようで極度に批判する。
つまりカルトでありヒッピーカルチャーである。

もう2冊も彼の本を読んだので、もう他は読まないでもいいですか…

🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

This one is much more painful to read than the first one I read earlier, The Book of Man.
It is a compilation of talks so taking that into account, so I'm sure listening to it live is more captivating, but as always not my thing anyways.

His "stories I've heard" are spread around the book and sure it is fun to read, but I cannot help but think, yeah but this is just to get attention, to keep the attention to him, and throw in some smart jokes here and there.

He disliked unnecessary disciplines from the established religions. 
No he hated them, so he would go against them, it's like a mixture of cult and hippie life, it probably was.

Not sure if I'll ever read anything else by him or about him.
