Modern spiritual MVP of the week 
JED MCKENNA
4/5 stars
4/5 stars
PRO:
Witty, direct, straightforward, concise, pragmatic, not at all new age ... in short, illuminating.
His way of writing is captivating, pungent, ironic (at the right point).
It has the ability to elegantly dispel any myth: not only the spiritual myths that delude many researchers, but also the myths with which much of humanity deludes itself.
Shoot everything, especially Maya, the goddess of sensory illusions. At the same time, he admits that he has a weakness for the bizarre manifestations of the cosmic dream: he loves young and beautiful girls, good food, the playstation, extreme sports such as skydiving. In short, a bizarre Spiritual Guide.
Of course it doesn't take anything seriously.
He knows too well that it's all a game. And as a cosmic player he seems to be doing well.
In my opinion, its main advantage is disenchantment.
Reading it - or listening to his audiobook - you may have the impression of not knowing who you are. Your beliefs will be put to the test, your common sense will falter, the sense of self could begin to lose its sense.
I will shortly summarize Jed's teaching.

VERSUS:
Some stories could be invented, a bit like Castaneda's adventures.
Jed is in fact only a pseudonym.
As far as I know it could be a man, a woman, a transsexual, an alien. But this is of little importance, the important thing is the message it tries to convey.
After all, I too preferred a pseudonym.

From a personality point of view, as he writes, he seems a little snooty, snobbish, indifferent, ruthless, cynical ... a bit like myself and maybe that's why I like him.
