5/5
Advaita explained and easy to understand
I enjoyed reading this book because of the clear language and down to earth explanation. The metaphors used in the book are very helpful. Life is simple indeed after reading this book. The next book could be about learning how to stay cloudless more. This can be a challenge especially when conditioning of the mind is involved.
5/5
Clear, Direct and Powerful
I have the pleasure of calling Scott Byrd a friend and mentor. A Cloudless Mind creates an opportunity for anyone to gain access to their philosophies and grow. The book is simple, direct, and powerful in its message. You may even find yourself laughing at times, both with the book and at yourself. Having privately coached with Scott I feel I now have a quick reference to turn to when I need to clear away some of my own clouds. A must read.
