Book Review:
In this humorous and insightful book, James Twyman challenges the conventional ''myth of enlightenment''—the idea that spiritual awakening requires intense retreats and esoteric study. Instead, he proposes that enlightenment can be found anywhere, even in the most commercial and mundane of places: a shopping mall.

The book chronicles Twyman's unique five-day ''retreat'' at a mall in Toronto, where he approaches the food court and jewelry counters with the same reverence one would have in a monastery. The result is a series of ten simple yet profound spiritual lessons. He discovers that teachers are everywhere and that profound wisdom can be gleaned from everyday interactions and chores. This book is a delightful and eye-opening read that will genuinely change the way you experience your ordinary environment, transforming mundane tasks into opportunities for joy, presence, and spiritual discovery.
