Worth whatever you pay for it.
I paid a lot more for this than is currently being advertised but I have no regrets. It is one of the most helpful books from the non-dual perspective I know of.

I am continually being excited and amazed that John says exactly what i need to read.

This book is the end product of the author’s direct seeing of reality, coupled with unsurpassed communication skills.
This book of dialogues presents the non-dual message with simplicity and clarity that takes the reader to the heart of the message, and keeps him there. The author is a seasoned, mature, no-nonsense presenter of the “perennial wisdom,” which is at the core of the message of the great wisdom and religious traditions, from Socratic dialogues to Taoism, Zen, non-dual Buddhism traditions, the Gospels of Jesus (including the Gospel of Thomas), Hindu/Advaita, Sufism, Kabbala (sp?), Meister Eckhart, and other Christian and non-christian mystics. The author has honed his considerable communication skills over the course of several previous 5-star books, and through his profession as a technical writer in Silicon Valley, where simpler, more intuitive, more direct presentations are prized. This book is the end product of the author’s direct seeing of reality, coupled with unsurpassed communication skills.

Very good, but occasionally frustrating
As another reviewer pointed out, there’s only one trick in this book — but that’s okay, because it’s a very good “trick”. See what you are, full stop.

The difficulty I have is something I’ve found in a few other non-duality books. The author admits that words get in the way, but chides questioners for them all the same:

Q: I know that I am awareness, but my belief in an experience associated with that knowing is still there.
A: Do not say “I know I am awareness.” That involves too many parts. Awareness is. You are that. Actually, not you are that; but just that. Words get in the way! …

So if awareness is, and you are that, why can’t one say “I know I am awareness?” The questioner obviously had to use *some* words. This seems to happen quite often. He advises readers to look into who they are, and when they say “okay I looked into who I am,” he tells them that their sentence is in error. Maybe true, but I know that would frustrate me if I were the student in the interaction. Admittedly, being confusing can be helpful by dispatching with the rational mind (such as in Zen koans), but in many cases here it feels like run-around.

Other authors get partially around the difficulty of using words by sticking to one model. See Greg Goode for an excellent example. This book contains a lot of value, but is occasionally frustrating.
