Author: Swami Muktananda of Rishikesh
Before starting, I think the first thing I would advise before reading this book is the reference to the author. There is an infamous Swami Muktananda of Siddha Yoga Path. This is not the same person.
The book's theme is "Essential Answers for Spiritual Seekers from the Perspective of Nonduality".
The book starts of on the background of Swami Muktananda and his teacher Swami Chidananda.
Chapter 1: A Few Basic Principles
Chapter 2: Spiritual Practice
Chapter 3: Difficulties on the Path
Chapter 4: Actions
Chapter 5: Daily Life, Relationships, Family, Work
Chapter 6: The Relationship with a Teacher
Chapter 7: Awakening to the Spirit
I like how each chapter has a little story/ stories to relate with the reader and how the book is arranged in a question and answer format.
This book is for spiritual seekers or at least for those who are on the path of life asking the big questions like "What is the meaning of life?" or "What is the purpose of life?".
It was absolute joy reading this book.

I will end this review with my personal favorite quote from the book.
"Spiritual life is like an apple. It has outer dimension, which is connected to names and forms, and an inner dimension, in which life matures while awakening you to the Spirit. Until you have reached a certain level of maturity there are some answers you cannot understand. But with time what had once seemed incomprehensible becomes clear."
