A tight summary of a complex man

This book ties together everything that CC said in print (and even has some accounts of what he did in tangible life, out of the public eye) in a remarkably cogent way. It makes a good reference text to consult instead of having to thumb through the non-indexed Castaneda books, and combined with Victor Sanchez' _Teachings of don Carlos_ would be a powerful approach to living a deliberate life. Don't let the title fool you, as even long-time CC afficionados can see new things here. He also brings up some concepts I've never seen in the books. It's definitely worth a read.
