A Book That Reveals The Light and Makes You Want To Share It
This book is an incredible book. If you were ever curious about Kabbalah this book is the answer. Michael Berg provides the reader with a clear interpretation of the meaning of Kabbalah, the meaning and purpose of life, and practical steps toward transformation. However, by no means should a reader look to Kabbalah as some kind of magic nor should a reader expect instant transformation. True transformation takes understanding, patience, time and a lot of work. Nevertheless, after reading this book one will realize that Kabbalah is a philosophy of truth and when studied will provide its students with a purpose in this world. There are a lot of Kabbalah books on the market today yet only a handful are worth the read. Michael Berg's contribution fills a void. He avoids an academic approach and goes directly to the heart, beauty and meaning of Kabbalah without getting bogged down in ecsoteric meanings, terms and definitions. Buy this book, put it in your personal library and return to it on a periodic basis. Let this book be the springboard on your way to personal and in turn to global transformation. Please note that this reviewer is in no way affiliated with the Kabbalah Center. In fact, this reviewer has some misgivings about the center which thrives by selling fairly expensive courses and products. For those serious students, stick to their free information on their website Kabbalah.com and another website called Kabbalah-web.org.

Wonderful introductory book on kabbalah
Looking for a book that puts all the pieces of the puzzle together and opens the door to the age-old questions - why are we here? what is our purpose? how can we improve our lives? - well...here you go! this is a wonderful introductory work on kabbalah and personal spiritual transformation. This book helps tie all forms of mystical teachings together and gives answers where in other places, they may be lacking. If you are looking for answers, kabbalah is the key that unlocks the door and this is an excellent book to begin that journey.One thing I must add is that kabbalah deals with very deep and profound ideas. The important thing that is brought forward with this book is a way to share those ideas simply so that the broadest part of the public can have access to them in an easy to understand format. This book does that beautifully. The basic philosophy of kabbalah is most definitely something that should be available to ANYONE that is interested in making a difference, both for themselves and for others. The FOUNDATION SHOULD ESPECIALLY BE AVAILABLE TO OUR CHILDREN so that the next generation can get a headstart. Phooey on those who think that hoarding knowledge like this is proper. The reasons for prior secrecy of this knowledge are no longer applicable.
We all must use all the tools at our disposal to become better people and learn how to better help others. This is one of those tools.
