Publisher Description
For over 40 years, Carlos Castaneda's The Teachings of Don Juan has inspired audiences to expand their world view beyond traditional Western forms. Originally published as Castaneda's master's thesis in anthropology, Teachings documents Castaneda's supposed apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Juan Matus. Dividing the work into two sections, Castaneda begins by describing don Juan's philosophies, then continues with his own reflections.

"Regardless of what you think about the truth in this book it has a lot of things that you can take away from it. It's the supposedly true story of a anthropology student's expeience in being guided into a "man of knowledge" by a yaqui indian. at the most superficial I have to wonder what parts are true and which were hypnotism to a vurnable mind, but everyone can go deeper and find some small truths that make it all worth reading. Except the final scientific summary part which was dull and not really very enlightening."

Quotes
-
“We are incredibly fortunate to have Carlos Castaneda’s books…One can’t exaggerate the significance of what he has done.”
— New York Times -
“It’s impossible to view the world in quite the same way after reading him…If Castaneda is correct, there is another world, a sometimes beautiful and sometimes frightening world, right before your eyes at this moment—if only we could see.”
— Chicago Tribune -
“Castaneda’s sanity lends to even the most lurid experiences the force of data. It compels us to believe that don Juan is one of the most extraordinary figures in anthropological literature, a neolithic sage. It helps us to accept, from the continent we stole, a mysterious gift of wisdom.”
