5.0 out of 5 stars A page turner!Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2016
Verified Purchase
It was a fascinating reading. I found myself reading it practically in one sitting, something which I hardly do with other books.
de Ropp met some of the people whose work I greatly admire the most including Ouspensky and Gurdjieff. It was very insightful to read his understandings and his analyzes of the various "I"s that ruled his life. His struggles throughout the 20th Century should give people food for thought. We are living in crazy times and it promises to get much worse before it gets better. de Ropp's book should provide inspiration to all the warriors out there in the world.
I was not surprised to read about his take on Castaneda, however, what I did noticed was that the concept of Predator's Mind was not brought up by him as a useful one from Don Juan's teachings. One would assume that it was not brought either because he thought it was "crazy making", he didn't thought it was real or important, or perhaps the time was not right. In any event, it is one of the most important concepts for humanity as a whole. It sheds a lot of light in de Ropp's Odyssey.
In any event, the book is great and highly enjoyable. Highly recommended reading!

This book was fantastic. De Ropp has a heck of a personal story to tell, and he is very good at telling it. He's an engaging writer. I picked it up mostly because I was interested in the 60s and the happenings around then, but De Ropp's childhood story is really compelling... I loved the chapter, near the end, on Alan Watts, called 'the Watercourse Way.' And the book ends well. A fantastic read and definitely recommended.

I enjoyed the authors writing style and the imagery he engendered in his writing about the history of his life and spiritually famous people that he had met and befriended and studied with over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great memoir!Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2013

An enjoyable autobiography to read about a great man's spiritual quest. Worth the cost, although I wish it was cheaper. Wish that de Ropp's book, Self-Completion would be reissued. Used copies are hard to find and very expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Book About An Amazing LifeReviewed in the United States on September 5, 2018
He's the Forrest Gump of consciousness development, but on steroids and rather than a simpleton he's a genius. He touched nearly every inner development movement from the 1930s up until the book was published in 1979. The cast of characters is unbelievable. Vaughaun Williams, Ouspensky, Gurdjieff, Aldous Huxley, Charles Lindbergh, Leary, Castaneda...the list goes on and on. He doesn't just talk about these people, he actually knew and worked with most of them at different points along his journey. Commies, Nazis, pacifists, yogis, beatniks, and hippies, all those and more are part of his story.
Besides getting a PhD and working as a research chemist, he built 2 houses with his own hands and was a farmer and rancher. If, like me, you read 'The Master Game' and wanted to know why he speaks with authority the answers are here. It's not really an autobiography, even though it is a glimpse into his most personal thoughts and feelings. It uses the context of his personal life to describe his experiences with and his take on all these movements. He has opinions on everything yet is unusually open-minded - he treats neo-Darwinism contemptuously, yet has no use for any concept of God. He writes beautifully and entertainingly. His was an amazing life and this is an amazing book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top tier contentReviewed in the United States on February 15, 2021
Spiritual hangover? Inflated 'holy' ego? Perhaps your head has grown too big for your shoulders? Or maybe you're just spiritually f*&%ed and don't know what to do with yourself. Well look no further. This has got to be one of the most down to earth, meat and bones human tale of a spiritual quest i've ever read.
It's not lofty, it's not delusional, it's not fantastical or out of this realm, de Ropp is all too human and he admits all his faults and shortcomings. Thank god. He really reminds the reader again and again that sanity and common sense are the best tools for this warriors way, telling more than one tale of mistakes, confusions, dead ends...
I mean, if this guy, who comes across to me as a generally accomplished individual, is liable to make so many mistakes, then maybe there's hope for the rest of us trying so desperately to squirm our way into spiritual development. You are insane if you are on some spiritual trip and don't read this book. Seriously. It can really help give perspective to a befuddled brain.
Good luck, folks. Have heart, and don't give up

5.0 out of 5 stars An odyssey all right!Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 27, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is much more than an autobiography (though I think it shows how an autobiography should be done). The subtitle is appropriate as it chronicles the life "odyssey" of De Ropp and his personal "ship of fools" (the competing selves within him) against a turbulent backdrop of two world wars, the depression, '60s California and more. It shines a fascinating light on that extraordinary spiritual exercise which is the Gurdjieff work and leaves the reader with an ideal to strive for, that of being a warrior in life rather than a slave.
