I've read half the book now and I go with ghost written. I suggest Ole Grunbaum because he edited all of Rawat's earlier books and other publications. These were all edited speeches so he knew all of Rawat's favorite quotes like Know Yourself and all the old stories like the Necklace in the River that Rawat has used.

I may be wrong. Rawat might have spent the last 20 years actually learning a little more about human history and the quotes he uses but I don't think so. I've found that he always lowers the bar on my expectations and has never raised it.

The book is full of reasonably good advice but also a lot of false promise and in my opinion a lot of lies about Rawat's actual life experience. I'm wondering whether he actually comes out and does a PEAK and not just a PEP.
