Michael Gluckman's, "Making Your Wisdom Come Alive," makes your wisdom come alive through two catalysts: (1) devotion of the bulk of the book to nondual scriptures and the wisdom of recognized sages, and (2) Gluckman's engaging style, which is like one of those memorable teachers you've had who makes things very understandable.
Gluckman doesn't simply quote Masters and Scripture. He respects the reader and the spiritual source material. If there is a dominant tone to this book, it is "respect." To read this book is not to connect with Truth, as though you are separate from Truth, but to see you are already It.

The Title of This Book Says it All.... Dec 29, 2007
I've wanted to write a review of this book since I first read it more than a month ago, but I had so many thoughts in my head that I really didn't know where to start. Finally, I realized that what I had to say was really very simple, and the title to this book says it all.
Michael Gluckman has a wonderful writing style that allows him to explain complicated ideas in a very accessible, conversational fashion. For me, however, the best part is that his premises are demonstrable through personal experience. Yes, that's right, you can prove the truth of his assertions with the benefit of your own experience.
I personally came upon "Making Your Wisdom Come Alive" after many years of reading, studying and rereading other books, from the Bhagavad Gita to the Tao Te Ching, and many others. I understood and enjoyed on an intellectual level the things that were being said, but I always had trouble bridging the gap between my intellect and my experience. Finally, there came a point in time when I needed to experience what I was reading about first hand, but I wasn't really sure how to do that. Michael Gluckman, and "Making Your Wisdom Come Alive" helped to start me on my way.
In the past month, since I first read Michael's book, I have begun to see progress in applying the reality that I had been studying from a dry, scholarly perspective for so many years. This is a journey that requires patience, and attention to detail, but with Michael's help, I am on my way.
In the meantime, the texts that I have been reading for all these years have "come alive" in new and wonderful ways, and I am seeing things all around me that I never noticed or appreciated. Also, my behavior is better generally, and the little silly things that I used to waste too much time worrying about are not so important any more.
Needless to say, all of this is not bad for the price of one small book....
I highly recommend "Making Your Wisdom Come Alive" because, as I said in the title to this review, the title of this book says it all. Michael Gluckman's book does make your wisdom come alive, and much, much more.
Peace at Last! Oct 16, 2007
After traversing the awesome, grueling and rewarding landscape of the Spiritual Aspirant, it was finally nice to see the one that was on the path and to `Know Myself'.
This book has transformed my life more than any other book or any other teaching in the entire world; And I have looked far and wide for many years.
This book has given me who I truly am and my only real everlasting direct experience of my Own Self: Peace Beyond Birth and Death.
I am ever indebted to you Michael.
Thank you for everything.
All My Love,
Sri Vishwam Maharaj
