Any Guru Will Do: A Modern Man’s Search For Meaning

Phil Brown’s life has been one long existential crisis. His path to enlightenment has been uphill – think of climbing Everest with a colonic irrigation or two along the way. Join Phil as he searches for meaning in the most unlikely places. Phil’s journey begins inauspiciously when he is carted out of a health farm on a stretcher – good food and vigorous exercise apparently weren’t a clever idea for a man with a stomach ulcer and a fear of vegans. Once back from the emergency ward, Phil gingerly dips his toes into a variety of experiences, from speaking in tongues to a ritual Egyptian dance workshop, not to mention meaning-of-life seminars and meditation. With a cast of curious characters including Guru Bubba John, Les Murray and a dial-a-clairvoyant, not to mention Phil himself, this hilarious book will have you doubled up with laughter. Settle yourself into the lotus position, grab a cup of peppermint tea, and enjoy the ride.
