Rating:  - Awakening Spirt
I would highly recommend this book. It is easy reading and very informative. The author can at times present with a bit of an ego, but it is easily ignored because he truly loves the topic he is sharing with the reader.

This is one of several Tom Brown books I have gotten. All very good
Rating: - Awakening Spirits By Tom Brown
As one reads this book they must seek the Grandfather's and Tom Brown's wisdom as an innocent uncarved block. This first half of the book tells the reader of how Grandfather acquired his sense of spiritual purity that flows through all belief systems. The second half teaches the reader of the meditation techniques that Brown teaches at his school. Anyone that is a spiritual person should read this book. Thanks Tom
Rating: - Worth the Flaws
Tom Brown is, quite frankly, a terrible writer. Had I not heard him speak live, I would have thrown this book away and written Tom off as a half-educated moron who thinks he has something intelligent to say about touchy-feely, self-centered, pseudo-spiritual mumbo-jumbo. Fortunately, personal interaction with the man tells me that he is far more intelligent than his grasp of grammatical and large structural elements of writing would indicate. His famed charisma and passion for what he teaches is sincere. His understanding of the human condition, the material and spiritual deficiencies of this culture, and the importance of re-education (as opposed to political movements, fads, etc.) are what make his message so powerful to so many people.
Awakening Spirits is, as I said, not the most well-written book I've read in the last several years by far. There are only cliché attempts and eloquent language, this style and structure is repetative, and there are nearly constant instances of places where another word or phrase would have been better used. Nevertheless, if the reader is willing to overlook these annoyances, as well as do some of the extra work required to understand what Tom is valiantly attempting to communicate, this book has the potential to reveal profound truths and offer a new approach to the world that is sorely needed in our day and age. The exercises are effective, and the philosophic principals can be applied to everyday life.
It's unfortunate that this book doesn't have the same power as Tom Brown in the flesh. The reader misses out of the convincing charisma Tom can give to his live students, and is required to take much more on faith. It's a lot to ask, but what's given is so great that I can't imagine anyone who takes this book as seriously as it deserves would ever regret investing in it.
