Stumbling Into Infinity: An Ordinary Man in the Sphere of Enlightenment
Stumbling Into Infinity is a spiritual memoir that shares the personal journey of someone with an Orthodox Jewish upbringing, an abusive childhood, and some rough edges, who leaves his career as a Madison Avenue advertising executive and winds up in the unlikely position of friend and helper to a great humanitarian and spiritual leader (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of one of the world's largest volunteer-based NGOs). What is it like to become an intimate friend to an enlightened master? What knowledge is shared behind closed doors with such a person? And how does someone with normal problems and limitations operate in this rarified world? Or can he?
