In this book of self-help and spiritual exploration, Alain Forget really boils down large and sometimes ethereal concepts into accessible information for anyone who wants to examine their life more fully.  I really enjoyed his take on subjects that I have been taught my whole life.  You don't realize how blessed you are until you view the world through the eyes of people who do not have the same background as you.  I don't say that to sound like a know it all, or in any way that may seem derogatory and I hope my meaning isn't lost in type.  Alain's voice as an author and teacher is so desperately needed by all of the lost and hurting hearts in this world.We have been conditioned to believe one of two things (or both); exploring the spiritual side of our being is hippy dippy, or exploring the nature of spirituality is blasphemous.  Both are incredibly wrong. To quote Teilhard de Chardin's The Phenomenon of Man, "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience."  Each one of our journeys is incredibly individual, but at the same time a shared experience.  To not truly plumb the depths of what our soul is, is to cheat ourselves of the full measure of our design and purpose.  Doing so allows us to live a more meaningful life and connect more deeply with those around us.  Alain gently explores this topic in a way that is non-offensive and non-denominational; no simple task to be sure.If you are ready to take stock and truly examine your spirituality and full potential, then Alain Forget's "How to Get Out of This World Alive," is a wonderful guide for you.
