An Unlikely Guru

an unlikely guru How a Neurotic Jewish Real Estate Developer from New Jersey Found Enlightenment (And How You Can, Too)Charles " Chick " Atkins is the antithesis of the traditional spiritual guru. He dresses in business clothes rather than a robe and sandals. He has never lived in a small stone hut in the Himalayas, nor does he collect crystals or read auras. All his insights have required eyeglasses.Married for forty years with three kids, Chick has experienced all the joys and sorrows that life normally bestows. He is human - just another guy behind the wheel in traffic. Non-descript.But Chick is different in one significant way. Chick is "awake."In the nine chapters of this book, he identifies nine moments of enlightenment in his life. Each provided a new level of comprehension and understanding that led to greater peace and happiness. Among these nine insights are the answers to: * How can I stop worrying so much? * How do I learn to seek approval from myself rather than others? * How do I slow the pace of life? * How can I learn to accept death? * How can I find happiness?Chick discusses these subjects with humor, humility, and practicality. His path can be your path, too. In the life story of an unlikely guru, you just might find insight into your own.
