Marley Rijsdijk marleyrijsdijk — I'd give it 2 stars if not for the funny moments that Gilbert managed to slip in between harrowing accounts of her depression and rather boastful reports of her older boyfriend's sexual prowess. Do we really need to know how she got that bladder infection? Yikes. The writing is fluid and the book was a fast read. Some of the insights that she learned during her time in the ashram are quite interesting, although she did not break any new grounds with them. I wonder why she needed to travel to India to stay in that ashram while the same experience (so she told us) was available in California under the guidance of the same guru. Some of the characters that she met were rather too cutesy to be wholly believable, like Richard from Texas, who nicknamed her 'groceries' and acted as her personal guardian angel in that ashram. If you are interested in books about westerners travelling in Asia in search of spirituality, you'll be better off with Tiziano Terzani's A Fortune Teller Told Me. A word or two about 'running amok'. Gilbert told us that the word 'amok' came from the Balinese language and that it specifically refers to a 'battle technique of suddenly going insanely wild against one's enemies in suicidal and bloody hand-to-hand combat'. In fact, the word 'amok' came from the Malay language (nowadays more commonly spelled 'amuk' in Bahasa Indonesia), although the Javanese and Balinese languages also have their own version of the word. It does not refer to a specific battle technique; 'amok' simply means being violently angry. Maybe Gilbert was thinking of another word, 'puputan', which is a Balinese word which means 'fighting to the death'.

Miguel Lopes mikevondy — Most intriguing argument made by this author is how all the social institutions were created to essentially control the destructive nature of male aggression.
