Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Nick began looking for some reason behind all the emotional ups and downs at the age of 17 years. He soon found and single-pointedly followed the teachings of a Western Spiritual Master until at the end of 2002, at the age of 30 years and after many years of inner work, Nick entered the much sought after state known, amongst other names as ‘Spiritual Enlightenment’.

Nick now teaches the subject in perhaps the simplest and most direct way ever, showing others that they too can experience this thing that many dispute is achievable, or whether it even exists at all.

The Truth is Within you. (Where else could it be?...)

5.0 out of 5 stars It worked for me.
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2006
This may be quite a controversial book in its approach and lack of interest in traditions and established teachings, but that does not mean it is not a great book. It just means it may not appeal to some members of other traditions or teachings. 'Be aware of where you are and of what you are feeling, whatever you do' is a very simple idea and Nick explains the logic behind it from many angles. Saying that, if you are a member of another tradition or teaching or are set in your own ideas, you may not feel the need to read this book.

I was sent a link to this page and have had a read of the reviews below. It is always sad when this facility is misused. The book seems to have been well received in many quarters but human nature dictates there will always be some who wish to scupper a good thing. If you are a fan of Advaita, Zen or Vedentic teaching, then why not be constructive and write a positive review on a book on one of these subjects instead of blatantly attacking one which is not? If this is a demonstration of your enlightenment or personal philosophy, we don't want it thank you.

Perhaps we can draw your attention also to the Review Regulations: Visitors may post reviews, comments, and other content; send e-cards and other communications; and submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information, so long as the content is not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory... If those posts below are not defamatory, I don't know what is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward Spiritual Guidebook
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2005
Nick Roach gets to the core of how to actually become enlightened. I've had glimpses of this awareness from listening to his CDs and now this book, and have found his approach to be very direct and insightful. His main pointer is to simply "be aware of where you are and of what you are feeling."

I like this teaching because there's a method to it, more than just navel gazing. In fact, he doesn't seem to be big on meditation at all. He says he came upon enlightenment over a period of years, rather than accidentally or suddenly through a guru. To me, he is a helpful guide because he describes the deliberate steps he took to reach enlightenment.

I didn't read this book straight through, but just opened it up and began reading at random. The chapters are short and easy-to-read and include such diverse topics as "Standing Up for Yourself," "Coincidence and Deja-Vu," and "Sex Versus Making Love." One chapter suggests "being aware of where you are and what you are feeling" while watching television!

There seems to be no bravado in this book at all. It also has interesting insights into how we are controlled by our emotional ups and downs and how emotions drive the mind and keep us from becoming more conscious.

I'm sure I'll refer to this book again and again and I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in enlightenment.

1.0 out of 5 stars IMHO
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2006
After reading some hilarious One-Star reviews of this book on this site, I picked up a second hand copy. This is because the one thing I enjoy as much as a good book on contemporary spirituality is a bad book on contemporary spirituality. Either way, I was in for a treat, because I have a voracious appetite for this sort of thing.

So, this is a BAD book on contemporary spirituality. It's repetitive and claims authority which is unverifiable. In a marketplace already choked with this sort of material, what does this book add? There appears to be one sentence to sum up the WHOLE message of this book - "practise being aware of where you are and what you are feeling". Fine. Maybe even useful.

But imagine, a 200-page book with an average of 15 sentences per page and one valuable sentence in the entire thing..!!! That means this book is 99.97% fluff and padding. Even at second hand prices, I think this is a bit thin! Sure, there's a simple message underpinning most spiritual texts, but the supplementary narrative is normally a bit more stimulating.

It's interesting to note the uproar and quasi-religious fervour with which the bad reviews have been met on this site. Apparently, we bad reviewers should only be raving about our favourite things, rather than expressing disatisfaction or highlighting books like these as the waste of money they are.

So, for those who are tempted to use this review site as a message board to discredit any dissenting opinions, I draw your attention to the following point: Without critical one star reviews, the gushy five star reviews are meaningless. If you still feel the impulse to comment, then re-read the book and remember not to be moved by your emotion. If that doesn't work, then remember this is all your dream, and you're creating it anyway.... :o)!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple & Direct 'How to' book.
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2006
This book is obviously written by someone who knows their stuff, explained so clearly, covering so many topics and in so many ways, not least of all love, what it is and how to keep it alive. The simplicity of the message may be difficult to grasp because it is so simple and yet, since I have been trying it, my life has changed. I love this book and would have no trouble recommending it to anyone who really wants to know who they are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, easy to understand.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 11, 2005

I was curious about the subject of 'Enlightenment' as my Grandmother had always talked about herself being a 'spiritual' person and I thought this was the same thing. It isn't, it's a different view of your life and teaching you a different way to live it, in order to get more out. There is no mumbo jumbo and the book tells it like it is. You will be amazed by it's open and frank approach, and even if you decide it's not for you at the end, it's a worthwhile and fascinating trip into the concept. I think it's one of theose books you will want to have by you for a few years and re- visit at different times in your life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seeing "what is".
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2015

A simple approach to seeing "what is", easy to understand, which gelled with me. Some metaphysical concepts incorporated into the second half of the book, which did not really strike the same chord.
