The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsky: The Creator of <i>El Topo</i>

we love you, alejandro!

A most read for anyone on a spiritual journey. After seeing all his films I can understand the man behind his thinking and creative endeavors. Enjoyed immensely.

I HIGHLY recommend this book... it's rare that I have a serious emotional reaction while reading such as laughing or crying - and I think it's a testament to Jodorowsky's genius that he could elicit such deep feelings in me. I laughed and sobbed multiple times.This really is a brilliant documentation about a man's spiritual journey. True or not -- I learned a lot. His investigation into Koans was mind-bending, in the best of ways.Regardless of what you think about his filmmaking, this book stands on its own.For my full review see: [...]

I am so stoked by this book. This is a sublime adventure into his life and I recommend to anyone with curiosity of achieving the magnificence of life experience to dive in. Reply to this review if you can think of a koan that reflects Amazon's business practices.

Great book by this great surrealist master. His first encounter with Leonora Carrington as he described it is simply amazing! surreal surreal surreal surreal surreal surreal. If you are a big fan of Jodo buy this book but read first "La Danza de la Realidad" [The Dance of Reality].

This book is a unique mix of an artist's personal and creative philosophy, expressed as a biographical narrative. There are places in the imagination that Jodorowksi drags us through as a living experience, at times unbelievable but super-poignant.

I wholeheartedly recommend reading this outstanding story of Alejandro Jodorowsky,one of the greatest,most inspiring and delightful men I met.His story is breathtaking, fantastic and mosly inspiring to love and be loved and explore life to its maximum.

must say alejandro jodorowsky is quite the artist writer director etc. if you want to see, or read a total mind trip with the likes of salvidor dali he is the one to deliver

I loved it

This book is a must read for fans of Jodorowsky.

Fantastico viaggio nella vita di un grandissimo artista poliedrico e misterioso, alla scoperta dei limiti della coscienza e del mondo.

An important book to get to know the artist but not a very sensible one. Most stories seem like the impressions of an opium addict. Very weird but still consistent with the author's mindset.

interesting book, came quickly
