Publisher's summary

For over 40 years, Carlos Castaneda’s The Teachings of Don Juan has inspired audiences to expand their world view beyond traditional Western forms. Originally published as Castaneda’s master’s thesis in anthropology, Teachings documents Castaneda’s supposed apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Juan Matus. Dividing the work into two sections, Castaneda begins by describing don Juan’s philosophies, then continues with his own reflections.

Critic reviews

"It's impossible to view the world in quite the same way after reading him.... If Castaneda is correct, there is another world, a sometimes beautiful and sometimes frightening world, right before our eyes at this moment - if only we could see." ( Chicago Tribune)

Motivational

I'm probably more enlightened than I am intellectual so the first 80% of the book I really understood and enjoyed while the last 20% I had trouble understanding. All in all, an incredible insight into the world of shamans.

After reading or listening to all the writers' books, please go to Thomas Campbell and Robert Monros Book. This journey of new horizon is at the tip of the iceberg....more immersion needed. Great book!!

CONNECTing the dots!

Ater many recommendations from Master Wayne Dyer in numerous works, I decided to take the jump. The thought or subject of Native American/Mexican shamans ta first sounds loony with equal parts silky but wow the writing is riviting. Beautifully detailed with the polish of technical Grammer - an eye opener and a Illiadic tribute to the realm of narrative anthropology

Very Informative

Great book. Picked up the author from reading Wayne Dyer as Carlos Castaneda was a pillar in the Power of Intention. Wanted to test the source information. I am now building a firm foundation in this journey of enlightenment.
