Outside of religious orders, who are the people that choose to practice celibacy and why? Approaching celibacy as a practical discipline for those on a spiritual search, The Celibate Seeker surveys a number of ordinary men and women to discover the benefits they derive and their advice to others. Discover how celibacy affects intuition and energy, how it reveals the habits of our mind, and is a natural state for anyone involved in intense effort. Hear from those currently practicing, former practitioners, and those who have struggled mightily with what Gandhi called "the highest goal."

It is not upto the expectation of the celibate seekers ...

Reviewed in India on January 12, 2016

It is not upto the expectation of the celibate seekers. It is just combination of other views on celibacy. It actually makes us confuse on the principles of celibacy. So it is frustrating to buy this book.

Being on my own journey with this topic, I feel the author has covered many benefits of celibacy in his interviews. Being a woman I related to what the men had to say. The benefits are good for any gender.

Its a good book to ignite your enthusiasm to try this route.
As the book focuses on the benefits of being celibate.
I hoped for more scientific evidence.
I also hoped for more practical ways to help one achieve this.
Thanks.

I feel gypped!

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2014

I was very disappointed with this book! I'm a woman and this book was biased toward men. In the description the author says that this book is for men and women. That's totally incorrect. Most of the interviewees were men, so the majority of the book was about men's feelings about celibacy. There was one paragraph devoted to one woman interviewee and a small portion that said that a woman should monitor her menstrual cycle to see how she feels at different times of the month. If you're a woman, this book is not for you!

"Many Women"?

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book (which is very short) is probably best geared toward men. The description of the author having surveyed "a number of ordinary men and women" is misleading. There was one very short paragraph from one woman and a couple more paragraphs about the menstrual cycle of women. While I accept and appreciate that the words of the many men surveyed may not be views shared by the author, the sexist overtone of the book was bothersome, and I am generally not one to be too bothered by those things. I can absolutely see the value of this book for men on or considering starting on a path of celibacy. Though I will say that, even so, it is largely expressed in this book that celibacy should only be for a set period of time and not for a lifetime. Likely not for those choosing (or considering choosing) celibacy as an on-going spiritual practice.
