"There ain't no guru who can see through your eyes," he sings in "I Found Out." Cynical Idealist beautifully articulates this and the other lessons John Lennon passed along through his songs and through the example of his life.. Like Socrates, Lennon wanted to stimulate people to think for themselves. Cynical Idealist reveals, for the first time, the spiritual odyssey of this extraordinary man. A radio playlist could easily follow John Lennon's "Mind Games" with "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy."

Uplifting Rick N. Backer A book worth reading and re-reading. Very Zen in that concepts so very, very simple are yet so insightful at the very same time. I sat down the first day I got it intending to read the first few chapters and stayed up, compelled until I finished it.Beyond that, my wish would be that the entire world could read and digest it's message.Mr. Tillery has done a fine job and is an excellent writer.. Joe Faraci said A Can't Put Down Book. I've read many a bio of John and The Beatles, and really saw no reason to read another, but I thought this book was coming from a perspective that was interesting.

This is the book that you can use when you try to explain to people born after 1970 just how influential John was to "A Can't Put Down Book" according to Joe Faraci.

All rights reserved. To interpret Lennon's spiritual hunger, Tillery draws upon the work of Victor Frankl, the Austrian psychiatrist and WWII death camp survivor who wrote volumes on the importance of people finding meaning in their lives by focusing outward.
