For me, The Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda is such a book.īefore discussing the book in itself though, I feel the need to address the criticism aimed at Castaneda, with many claiming that his accounts are nothing but pure fiction.įirst off, there is no conclusive evidence that it was all a lie there are conjectures about and pieces of information from his books which can be developed into the conclusions one wants, but once again, no definitive evidence exists. However, very rarely, we end up stumbling on a piece of writing that touches us to the very core, challenging our perceptions of the world and making us rethink about what is in front of our very eyes. We read plenty of books throughout our lifetimes, and sadly, most of them end up being forgettable, with only the titles being retained by our minds.
