I was asked to do an essay on a religion different than my own, and the subject I was given was Kabbalah.  My only exposure to it was celebrities like Madonna wearing red string bracelets, and the edgy kids at school that donned them as well.  To say the least, my perception of it was colored by my experiences; and not very enlightened or kind.  I really thought this book was going to be a bunch of new agey baloney about being able to tap into magic and be some kind of psychic.Long story short, I am so glad that I was assigned this topic and chose to read this book.  There bulk of what Kabbalah is about is self-improvement and living a well-balanced life.  I don’t care what religion you are; that is what we are all striving for.  The author was well spoken and presented Kabbalah in such a way that I felt like I got a friendly nutshell overview of it.  There were a lot of points that I felt I could adopt into my own life and spirituality.  If you are someone who is completely knew to Kabbalah, this is a great book for you to read as it is only 48 pages and can be finished in an evening.
