"Almaas is one of the most significant voices for a new and remarkably integrated spiritual vision..I recommend it to anyone interested in living the life of the spirit.....I have had a life changing experience working with Hameed Ali and the Diamond Approach for the past 26 years. The Diamond Approach is among the most integrated and visionary teachings of body, heart and spirit that I know."
Jack Kornfield, Ph.D., author of A Path with a Heart
