This absolutely brilliant book brings together the wisdom of many cultures and many different world views in a fast paced, always doubtful and often insightful journey with crazy visionaries like Rumi, Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, Franz Kafka, the Buddha, and many more.

Wes Nisker puts the masters of Eastern philosophy in a room with those of Western philosophy and science, and lets them decide amongst themselves what's true. What follows is a book where great jesters and holy fools across the ages are introduced to each other and argue...but also agree surprisingly often.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is willing to accept that they may not know everything. If you read nothing else on this list, read this. Whether you're a sceptic, a scientist, an experienced intuitive student or all of the above, you will find a wealth of wisdom in this book, and more importantly: it will make you think. ( )
