This book will give you a whole new way to look at your life and the life our culture tells us is good. You will end up with more questions than answers, but the questions are a place to start. Let Ishmael be your teacher and come along on the journey.

Fascinating book! The premise is off-beat, to say the least, but the wisdom imparted by the unusual scholar was insightful. I couldn't put this one down.

Ishmael should be required reading for every high school student. Phenominal book if you take the time to delve between the layers. An easy and fun read, that attempts to help the reader look at life from a completely different angle. As new age, intellectual, religious or spiritual one may believe they are this is a completely different reflection. I look forward to reading the authors other works. This book moves to the top of my favorites along with Atlas Shrugged and The Celestine Prophecy.
