Your Owner's Manual is not only inspiring, but provides practical methods of dealing with life. I have used many of his examples in my own work, and have given many copies of this book to other seekers of Truth.
I could not recommend a book more highly.
I confess I have not only bought and read this book, but I have bought several copies to give away, and each has created delight when the recipient 'got' the concept.
The 'Manual' is patterned closely after a standard car owners manual - the kind you find in the glove compartment. It contains good, practical philosophy of how to guide your life into paths of happiness, prosperity, and meaningful existence. The gems of wisdom you will find are designed to really make you think - and if you do, there will be a sort of "Aha" moment when you really receive each 'gift' this book contains.
It was my privilege to meet Burt on one of his many workshop 'tours' which happened to hit my Canadian home town. Talking with him, I came to understand that his wisdom comes from a life that is fully lived with joy, kindness, and generosity. The 'Owners Manual' is his offering to the world, from the heart. This small review is just my very tiny contribution - because the world would be a better, happier place if everyone read their "Owners' Manual".

In fact, the statement "Nobody can possibly know the Truth" is a paradox in itself! If the statement is true, then it contradicts itself (for how do YOU KNOW that nobody knows?), hence the statement must be false!
This is not just a play on words. How can the author so matter-of-factly tell you all of these owner's-manual-truths... and then keep saying that nobody can know the truth?
The book is a good read and it has many good points to contemplate. But make sure you continue to trust your own instinct for "the truth" and keep in mind that the basic premise (the foundation of the book) is based on a paradox!
