Summary: A Guide to Personal Power
Comment: In this book, Castaneda tries to instill in the reader the components of personal power. A person of personal power can be summed up as someone who chooses to live as a victor rather than a victim. And to break away from the conditioning and habits of society and the norm.
Don Juan tries to impart to Castaneda some empowering mindframes and attitudes, such as by Erasing Personal History, one is able to break away from the excuses most people make in their life, and start to take Responsibility and action to change it, rather than blaming and getting stuck. Also the part about losing one's self-importance is extremely powerful wisdom, as he teaches that self-importance is one's own illusion. Only a person with self-importance easily feels hurt by the remarks of others.
It is interesting to note that this one of the Castaneda books that really sticks in people's mind, and has influenced a whole generation of spiritual and motivational thinkers, such as Wayne Dywer, Richard Bandler, Anthony Robbins among others.

Summary: Truly Magical-By VP
Comment: When I first read this book I was too young to understand the meaning behind what Carlos Castaneda was trying to say and I didn't believe that the teachings of Don Juan were possibly as true as they were powerful. But as I read through it again I realized there was more to the book than just a crazy Indian and his hallucinogenic plants, and it wasn't until I re-read Journey to Ixtlan that I understood what Don Juan was trying to teach Carlos.
Journey to Ixtlan by Carlos Castaneda is by far my favorite and inarguably one of the best he's written throughout his travels with Don Juan. When you first start reading Castaneda's books, sorcery is a really questionable matter until you read this one and all of your questions are answered. In this book Don Juan teaches Carlos many things that pertain to both the sorcerer's world as well as the world the reader lives in. Many of these things are part of everyday situations and connects Carlos very well to the reader. Some of the things that Don Juan tries to teach or make Carlos realize are erasing personal history, losing self-importance, and being inaccessible. It is these lessons as well as many others that lead Carlos to the "stopping the world" and the journey to Ixtlan.
I would definitely recommend this book to people who are open-minded and who has a high reading level, but I wouldn't recommend this book to people who aren't already familiar with Carlos Castaneda's other books.

Summary: Start with this book
Comment: If you're interested in Castaneda, this is the book you should read first. It covers the same time period as the previous two, but Carlos is no longer as dense as when he wrote them. This book opens the doors to a whole new way to view the world.
