Scalded: The Making and Undoing of an Extremist

Scalded: The Making and Undoing of an Extremist by Samadhi Longo-Disse, PhD and Teddy Charles, is published through the non-profit Samadhi Research Institute by Booksurge. It powerfully unveils a stunning portrait of obsession and a new understanding of extremism. This factual account probes a middle class woman's survival and spiritual liberation from addiction, the raw intensity of communal life, covert surveillance and high-class prostitution. More than a life story, this book is fueled by inexhaustible energy, humor and psychological depth, unraveling an inspired journey to uncover the roots of extremism in religion, sexuality, addiction, depression and violence. A portion of the proceeds will go toward supporting the work of Samadhi Research.

5Incredible journey!  Mar 04, 2008
Scalded is an incredible journey of one woman's trials in life and how she came through it all to find peace and joy on the other side. The book is touching and thought provoking and will keep you on locked in and unable to put it down because you have to know what happens next. The fact that this engaging, entertaining and challenging ride is a true story is mind blowing. My mind can hardly wrap around the journey of this inspiring woman. You won't be disapointed!

5Boomer Adventure  Aug 20, 2007
No time to read. I'm moving. Should never have picked it up. Couldn't put it down. It starts like my favorite genre - spies. The chronilogical construction makes it fascinating and fast-paced. I so understand the motivatons of the author, having lived throught those years myself.Can't wait for a second installment!

4Ecstasy is not Enlightenment  Jul 05, 2007
Scalded falls somewhere between a confessional a la St.Augustine and a morality tale that might have been told by a pilgrim from the Canterbury Tales. It definitely qualifies for the "truth being more bizarre than fiction" category, and would make one helluva movie!

5Highly Recommended  Apr 02, 2007
I have recommended this book to many, many people. I believe that most everyone who reads this book will find at least a small part of their personality expressed in it's pages. For me, Scalded was uncomfortable on some levels, laugh-out-loud funny, honest, sad and thought-provoking. Once I opened the book, it was very hard to put down and I finished it in 2 days. You won't be disappointed...one of the best books I have read in a long time.

5a real page turner  Feb 03, 2007
I could not put this book down! Each of the adventures and episodes were so interesting and exciting. And to think that these were real life adventures.... This book was also thought provoking and helped me to look at my own life and marvel at the mystery of how we are all directed and motivated throughout our lives.
