I picked this one up to skim while waiting and ended up reading the first 18 pages.
I have only one peeve so far. The author seems knowledgeable, but falls for the "superiority of modern ways." Old (shamanism, magic, etc) = emotional, superstitious, not much to offer. New (from the Renaissance on) = rational, superior, the one true way.

I picked this one up to skim through it and ended up reading the first 18 pages. The author does have some interesting ideas.
However, I have one peeve so far. He seems to come from the viewpoint man has improved spiritually over the millennia. Old ways = many teachers, emotional, primitive. Nothing to offer. Modern ways = one way, rational, superior.
