The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge - Hardcover

"Taken together [Castaneda's books] form a work among the best that the science of anthropology has produced." The New York Times Book Review "Extraordinary in every sense of the word." The New York Times "An unparalleled breakthrough... Remarkable." Los Angeles Times "It is impossible to view the world in quite the same way." Chicago Tribune

In 1968 University of California Press published an unusual manuscript by an anthropology student named Carlos Castaneda. The Teachings of Don Juan enthralled a generation of seekers dissatisfied with the limitations of the Western worldview. Castaneda's now classic book remains controversial for the alternative way of seeing that it presents and the revolution in cognition it demands. Whether read as ethnographic fact or creative fiction, it is the story of a remarkable journey that has left an indelible impression on the life of more than a million readers around the world.
