"Today, Jay Michaelson is a best-selling author, a rabbi, a meditation teacher, and a political columnist read by a quarter million readers per month. But not long ago, he was a young spiritual seeker, pursuing mystical experiences (and even enlightenment) with an open heart and restless intellectual curiosity. Drawn from essays written over a ten-year period of questioning and exploration, this book is a unique record of the spiritual search, from the perspective of someone who made plenty of mistakes along the way."-- Provided by publisher.
