'STUMBLING INTO INFINITY'- DON'T BUY

'STUMBLING INTO INFINITY'- DON'T BUY
It appears to me that the author Michael Fischman has deliberately given a catchy name, even if false, to attract people and induce them to buy the book. It is actually an autobiography, exaggerated one, of the author as a student of Art of Living (AOL) and then as a teacher of AOL. He has freely used superlatives, even when writing about his 'lackings' to indicate exactly the opposite. People like Deepak Chopra have praised the book which again may be a policy of scratching each others back. The author, in my opinion, employs sycophancy, flattery instead of genuine praise. May be that trick is to make all AOL lovers to buy the book. It seems the author does not 'stumble' but steadily walks in to infinity. Buy or read the book only if you are interested in autobiography of a self praising clever salesman. The author even when he writes about his drawbacks, makes it sound as a qualificatin. He also seems to be obsessed about frequently saying that he travelled in a plane, car from one point to another point. A pointless account.
