Amazon.com Review
Author James Redfield takes readers to the mountains of Tibet in search of the mythical place called Shambhala, otherwise known as Shangri-La. Like his previous bestselling books, Redfield holds the tension between an adventure travel story (in this book, armed Chinese soldiers doggedly pursue him) and divine encounters. Rather than preach his spiritual beliefs, Redfield likes to portray himself as a naive pilgrim, receiving wisdom and insights from the various guides and teachers he meets on his metaphysical journeys. Shambhala is indeed a paradise, just as it was lovingly portrayed in the famous James Hilton novel Lost Horizon. It is also a spiritual utopia, and Redfield takes great pleasure in pondering the possibilities of living in a culture that is entirely "focused on the life process." Residents explain their lifestyle, which has emerged from a completely spiritual culture, including some rather sensible opinions about technology, parenting, and even genetic testing. Meanwhile, Redfield remains the wide-eyed observer. Those who loved the characters, writing style, and epiphanies in The Celestine Prophecy will not be disappointed with Redfield's latest inspirational portrait of a new world order. --Gail Hudson
Product Description
The search for the legendary Tibetan-Buddhist utopia of Shambhala begins where The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight left off. The magical place does indeed exist and is destined to be found and understood in our time. Following a childs instructions, readers cross the Himalayas and discover a mysterious community set high on a Tibetan mountain range where the spiritual future of mankind is already being lived. After overcoming Chinese interference and the tests of the mysterious Dakini, readers finally discover the secret of this idealistic way of life, and understand how it will now begin to move into the rest of the world.

Great story September 1, 2008
I enjoyed this book even more that the first 2. Lots of action and spiritual growth lessons for any one looking for ways to be more conscious and loving. It was a fun book to read but the idea that the cycle of birth and death will end is pretty far fetched for me. I also recommend A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle
 strengthening the vision August 29, 2008
Wish they'd make a movie of this one, too. I watch The Celestine Prophecy movie dvd often, in various language combinations. It helps me hold the vision and soak it in deeper and deeper. SECRET OF SHAMBALA expands understanding, strengthens intention and focus, all the while giving us another exciting adventure. Check out the celestineprophecymovie website.
 238 pages of boredom..... March 3, 2008
I was happy that this book was given to me as I would have been a little upset if i actually paid for it. For starters what makes for a good fiction is when the author is capable of setting the scene, given the story depth and just as importantly, good character development. Unfortunately this story lacks both. The scene could have taken place in Mr. Redfields living room and it would not have made much of a difference since the reader never gets a "feel" for Tibet, "Shambhala", or its suroundings. I understand that it is in James Redfields best interest to put his "insights" into fictional form, sort of a safe zone since they lack originality and are at best a naive attempt at delivering his "message". A true evangelist for the "new age". Page 225 from the Celestine Prophecy- ""But what about money?" I asked. "I can't believe that people will voluntarily reduce there incomes." Oh we wont have to Dobson said. "The Manuscript says our income will remain stable because of the people given us money for the insights we provide." Well I think this says it all.

James Redfield has a unique way of delivering prophetic truths in his works. The Celestine Prophecy is a a book every human being should read. There is more to life than the old 9-5 and materialism. Perhaps our politicians & world leaders would learn from this book!
The evolution of one's soul & mind is a terrible gift to lose!

The Secret of Shambala July 3, 2007
Must read - logical sequence to Celestine Prophecy and Tenth Insight. Just helps to raise your own spiritual knowledge. Excellent!
