Radically Condensed Instructions for Being Just as You Are (J Matthews)
[My 2-star Amazon review (NDA) of Radically Condensed Instructions for Being Just as You Are by J Matthews.]
This book is an exoteric, psychologized, non-spiritual summary of Advaita Vedanta (the Hindu philosophy that says one’s True Nature/Self is Awareness), and it might be worth .99 to a newbie to —but if you’ve read Ramana Maharshi, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, Papaji, Adyashanti, Jean Klein, J. Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle, Zen Buddhism, or Tibetan Dzogchen, you will find no new or interesting ground covered in this condensed, superficial text, which can be read in about twenty minutes.
