Any thoughts on this guy? I know all he does is makes eastern philosophies easier to digest for westerners but whadda us think?

Why don't you read him instead of trying to align your views with whatever "/lit/" thinks?
Brilliant thinker, but many don't understand him because their elitism blinds them from the start (not even kidding), or they pretend not to like him because they're elitist. I've read and understood all of the famous philosophers, the big names , and a lot of the lesser known ones, and his is still the most solidly thought out philosophy I've ever come across.

I know what I think of this book and of him
I've just never heard any other opinions on him
So I don't know of any blindspots I might have
What if what /lit/ has to say is more reasonable than what I think?

Do you recommend that book? Read Way of Zen and Wisdom of Insecurity. Wisdom of Insecurity was my fave.
