In this poignant book, humanist psychologist Richard Sylvester provides readers with unique insights regarding life's most difficult question:Who are we? The human mind is compelled to search for meaning. But when we let go of our notion of the self, we are often confronted with the emptiness of the world. However, even in that emptiness, love and purpose can be found. InThe Book of No One, Richard Sylvester continues to communicate the radical and uncompromising view of non-duality expressed in his first book,I Hope You Die Soon. With clarity, humor, and compassion, Sylvester answers many questions about the harsh truths of reality, especially the nature of non-duality, liberation, and enlightenment.

If you are interested in exploring the concepts behind Advaita (non-dualism), Sylvester presents a clear answer. The book is laid out in a question & answer format, probably transcriptions of "satsang" (disciples/teacher sessions to discuss the Truth) sessions at his home.
This was a book read at the weekly Connie Martin book discussion in Frederick MD. The format of question and answer is conducive to her format of reading and discussion.
Unlike most Indian authors, Sylvester is quite clear in his presentation because he is writing (or speaking) in his first language, with no translation issues (unless you don't quite believe Brits speak English anymore :-).
However, as clear as I found Sylvester, it is amazing how his students "just don't get it." Oh well, I guess it would have been a short book if they had.
