The Cranky Guru: Adventures in Metaphysics is a self-help book by Paul
Bennett. The author bases much of the material he presents on his own
30-year journey of self-discovery. He begins with an example of his beliefs
in action, when he has his passport renewed in three hours before
an anticipated family trip. By believing in the benevolence of the universe,
he saw that trip happening. As he waited for the oce to open
and traveled up to the oces with other applicants, he wished them all
success, and he actually received his passport in time to travel. Bennett
oers ways to focus on the now rather than being caught up in the past
or worrying about the future. He discusses the various forms of meditation
and gives basic instructions on how to practice each form. Bennett
includes an extensive bibliography of those works he found instructive
and instrumental in his search for his own philosophy.
Paul Bennett’s self-help book, The Cranky Guru: Adventures in Metaphysics,
is one of those books you’ll want to hang on to and read and
then re-read. He’s a gifted writer who has the ability to communicate
directly with his readers, almost as though he were in the same room
with you. He’s honest and fearless and quite charming, and I found
myself smiling as I read of his Lift Club exploits. No, I’m never in lifts, so I
won’t be tempted to burst out into song and see for myself just what
transpires, but it does make for some interesting reading. Sometimes
Bennett is deadly serious, as when he discusses what thoughts you project
and the repercussions of negative emotions and feelings. There’s an
awful lot to digest in this well-presented and deceptively slim volume,
and I’m very glad to have heard Bennett’s voice resonating through The
Cranky Guru. This is an exceptional work that is highly recommended.
I do hope you enjoy my book. It can be purchased directly from me here, or
