"I am a meditation practitioner, and it came to me at a point in my life where I was very interested in learning about people's journeys. This book is about one young man's journey to the truth. He is a Brahman, and he is living in an ancient Indian culture, and he's struggling because he realizes that with all the wealth around him he still hasn't found his own true happiness. So he goes on a quest, and his quest is to find the truth. I related particularly to the idea that the essential human quality of wanting to be happy is something that one can only find by doing internal inquiry. I also loved the writing; the writing is just so lush, and rich, and descriptive; and you really get a true sense for the dimensionality of these characters. It definitely, the book definitely helped me. What I think it helped me understand is that I'm not alone in this quest to figure it all out. My only criticism of the book would be that it's not longer. It was just such a joy to read that I was really somewhat disappointed when I got to the end. Hesse, the author, is brilliant, and he's really been able to translate a lot of the teachings of especially Buddhism but some of the other spiritual paths in India at that time. It's a very understandable yet not too simplistic language. I would give this book five stars out of five stars. It definitely raises more questions than it answers, and I think that's a real strong point of the book."
