A FEAST OF BEAUTIFUL TEACHINGS!!!
By John E. Welshons
In Polishing the Mirror, our beloved spiritual elder brother, Ram Dass, offers a rich stew of teachings that span the entirety of his nearly fifty years of teaching. The text is beautiful and accessible, transporting the reader into the same delicious heart-space he so often created in thousands of lectures over the years. The timeless guidance to “Be Here Now” flows through every word and chapter, and every bit of the material feels fresh, alive, and vibrant . . . as if we’re hearing it for the very first time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this beautiful book of loving wisdom, and invaluable spiritual guidance.- John E. Welshons, author, One Soul, One Love, One Heart and Awakening From Grief

A Spiritual Sage to Baby Boomers Reflects on the Aging of His Generation
By David Crumm
Baby Boomers know Ram Dass as an American celebrity from the 1960s who came back from India in 1971 to publish a strange square-shaped book: Be Here Now. Some call that book “the Baby Boomers’ Bible”–and there is a good argument behind such a claim. It wasn’t until the era of Be Here Now that millions of Americans could immerse themselves in full-scale Asian spirituality and the rest of the world’s spiritual diversity.Since its debut, Be Here Now has racked up a stunning total of 2 million copies sold–and counting. Ram Dass has built on his original message in 11 additional books, a series of audio recordings, documentary films and short videos. Ram Dass also is famous for his 1978 establishment of the Seva Foundation, a highly respected charity that primarily focuses on curing illnesses of the eye in Asia, Africa and Native American communities.Then, in 1997, Ram Dass made headlines once again for suffering a devastating stroke. As Baby Boomers, we were confronting our own looming mortality as we watched this perennially smiling genie of the `60s utterly humbled by his own body. As Ram Dass puts it himself: “I went from driving my sports car wherever I wanted to go–to being a passenger.”Now, flash forward 16 years to 2013 and in the opening pages of his newest book, Ram Dass briefly retells the dramatic story that many Baby Boomers know so well: As a rising star in the Harvard faculty, 30-something psychologist Dr. Richard Alpert teamed up with psychologist Dr. Timothy Leary. Ram Dass understates their titanic collision: “Meeting Tim was a major turning point in my life.” No kidding! The two Harvard scholars experimented with psychedelics, beginning with the mushrooms common in ancient Native American cultures. Leary and Alpert, later to become Ram Dass, were twin lightning rods, interacting with a Who’s Who of leading spiritual lights, from Aldous Huxley to Alan Watts and far beyond. They grabbed hold of the forces they were discovering; Ram Dass soon studying in India with his Hindu guru. Collectively, they pumped high-octane spiritual fuel into Baby Boomer culture.Now, at age 82 as this book is released, Ram Dass is old. That’s not an insult. In fact, he says it that way in the book: He’s old. He’s noticeably slower and more deliberate in choosing his words.If you read his earlier book Still Here: Embracing Aging, Changing, and Dying and thought that was his last word on the issues in that title, the fact is: He didn’t know half of what he knows now. He freely admits that. There is great inspiration in the 2013 life and work of Ram Dass, especially in the pages of this new book, whether you are drawn toward Eastern religious traditions or not. As Baby Boomers, we take heart in seeing one of our most colorful mentors take old age and disability in stride. Sure, he’s a passenger these days–but, whatever seat he’s occupying in that sports car, he’s still speeding ahead of us toward our collective horizon line.

“INSPIRING, UPLIFTING, AND FILLED WITH WISDOM!”
By Geraldine Ahearn
Ram Dass chronicles a heartwarming, spiritual guide as the golden key to happiness in our everyday lives. This uplifting book motivates the reader on how to follow divine teachings that are filled with wisdom, compassion, and encouragement. My daughter and I, search for specific books that are created with inspiration, and this one will indeed become one of our favorites, because it is very fulfilling in the spiritual sense. The author through years of experience, teaches how to live with a spiritual life that will reflect not only on ourselves, but on others as well. Ram Dass discusses in this practice-based guide our true identity, and our purpose in life. In addition, he includes stories that are touching to the heart and soul, which are filled with passion, and a hint of humor. The author also describes the true definition of fear and suffering, and how people react in different ways. The more you read this book, the more comforting it becomes. Delightful,enjoyable, and beautifully written. Highly recommended!Special Note: I was provided with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
