The Book of One

Dennis Waite

Although the author, Dennis Waite, lays no claim to being a sage or realized, he has written the best single book about advaita that I have ever read. This book is quite remarkable in that it is both brief (only about 200 pages) and at the same time totally comprehensive. Although it is easy to read and understand, it is very profound. Amazingly, I would highly recommend this book to both the most devoted student of advaita and to someone who knows little or nothing about the subject.

While this book is solid and rigorous, like an academic treatise, it is also vibrant and alive with a teaching that many, including myself, believe to be the most profound attempt of man to take the unfathomable, the unspeakable, and the inexplicable and put it into words.

This book is simple and profound, and combines the eternal wisdom of an ageless teaching with modern insights and discoveries made by modern man and leading edge scientists.

The Book of One is, as the title suggests, flat out the best articulation of advaita I have come across so far. As an added bonus, the references to other books and definitive lists of internet sites make this a must have book for any serious student.
