Falling into Grace

Spiritual teacher Adyashanti sets out, in his first introductory book, what he considers the fundamental teachings for anyone seeking a way out of suffering and into spiritual awakening. He traces suffering to the idea of a separate self and explores how to stop believing the thoughts that keep it going. The inquiry also covers taking the backward step into the present moment, why awakening can be a disturbing process, and intimacy, availability and a sense of union with all of experience, as well as true autonomy. His years of teaching, he says, have shown him that the simpler a teaching is, the more it can change a life. It was published in 2011.

In a podcast interview, Naval Ravikant said he had just finished it and thought it very good, placing it on the philosophy side of his reading.
