Here is what some people have said about the book:

"thank you for your wonderful work. when I said that the Period of the Great Separation is "over", I really meant, that it is coming to an end in countless people like ourselves who have been born and imprinted by modern Western culture. I am one of those people. Everyone I know and work with is one of those people. I just returned from a "Synthesis dialogue" with the Dalai Lama and 20 transformational leaders, like Bill Ury of Harvard and A.T. Ariyaratne who has founded 15,000 villages in Sri Lanka that are spiritually-based and self sustaining. We felt the heartfelt desire to keep the connection among the emerging holistic people alive. It is through the deeper connection among the Evolving People that the resonant field is sustained, and the link with what you call the People can be secured."

"rating 5 stars. So Powerful! 
"If this book was a drug the FDA would make it Class 3. It is that powerful and will have that strong an effect on your life. While it is described as account of a Malaysia tribe, it is, more importantly, a window into another way of thinking about WHAT IT IS TO BE HUMAN. That is also the name the book was originally given by it's author. Robert Wolff opens our eyes to see and think about possibilities for being human that our western world's schools and media do not teach, do not suggest.
"Every person I know who has read this books says it changes the way they walk through the world, the way they see, the way they know.
"It discusses ideas that impinge upon parapsychology, shamanism, Carlos Castaneda's works, intuition, healing...
"The book is a precious gift that will make you feel joy and sadness-- joy >from knowing the possibilities of being human, and the beauty of the Sng'oi, sadness, because the Sng'oi were reported to be "absorbed" by the Malaysian culture several years ago. They are gone.
"Read the book and see if you can find a way to begin seeing as they did, and find a part of them in your heart."

"With beautilful stories, Robert Wolff, brings to light cultures of indigenous people that do not share the values of our "civilized" societies. They have a ring of authenticity that triggers, in the deepest recesses of our being, a truth that has long been covered up, that our "way" has been extremely costly to happiness and the well being of the world. Through his stories, he gently prods us to understands a simple routh, the knowing of which, and acting from that knowledge could solve all lour earthly problems_we all are one, all hooked together. We share each others pain and joy."
