Many monks and gurus teach a path to enlightenment that is long and complicated. It also requires an austere life in many cases. But what about the ordinary person? Does everyone seeking enlightenment need to become a monk? In Break Through to Your True Self, author Michael Tavella uses his personal experiences to help others seeking a path to enlightenment.

Outlining the steps that worked for him, Tavella provides the answers to why we become enlightened, who we really are, what our purpose on the earth is, what happens after enlightenment, and why many teachers tell us to live in the moment.
