Apotheosis Now: Rabbit Hole to the Beyond

Recommended to all on the Path as a companion work to "the Power of Now" by Echardt Tolle. Masters both.

I found this an enjoyable and worthwhile read. I’d recommend it to those making the transition from self help to self knowledge/realization.

Apotheosis Now by Yanhao Huang is a self-help book that offers suggestions, questions and insights for readers to think about as they take a closer look at themselves to determine if they are happy. Huang states that his book's intention is to help the reader become the best version of themselves. Apotheosis tackles a wide range of topics from internal conflicts, our ego, happiness to more philosophical topics such as the meaning of life, the existence of God, and spiritual enlightenment. Huang challenges many of the concepts and beliefs we have been taught from an early age, which in turn may cause many readers to question their belief systems. The author's tone is conversational and his explanations are written in a way that readers with little knowledge in this filed will understand. One of the topics I enjoyed reading about was learning the difference between being successful and being happy. How many of us think they are the same thing but how there are often instances where they are not and are total opposites. A very enlightening read and a good choice for anyone feeling stuck in a rut.

Apotheosis now by Author Yanhao Huang
I found this to be a spiritually engaging self help or self aware book to the betterment of ones life through getting to the core of your own being, overcoming the existence of your ego, to be able to transform yourself to a better person. As we all have an image as to who we are, but that is not always how others see us, do we see ourselves as better than others, or lower than others may be a development as to how we are brought up , taught growing up or perhaps though an abusive partner. We often times have thought patterns to operate in our minds like a voice in our head directing beliefs.
When you begin to think about all the different aspects of your ego and the different feelings that it entails it become very fascinating as you read through the process that Author Yanhao Huang takes you through. I have become much more aware of the ego that is in all of us and found different ways to communicate with myself and others with this self examining process.
As he describes the dissolving or peeling back the layers one will begin to place their focus on and underlying inner unprocessed pain. This will give you a chance to examine the pain and be able to deal with it. To become enlightened and gain some insight into your natural spiritual journey through life.
This book is a good book to read.

This is an interesting book to review. I've read a lot of reviews of the book before actually reading the book which is fairly rare for me. I usually only read one or two book reviews at most. The picture painted is of great progress in the past couple centuries, and it is almost perverse to disagree with this. "Enlightenment" to mean a set of ideas associated with reason, science, and humanism. This association clear very early on, so that I don't see it as much of a criticism. Enlightenment for the set of ideas he proposes are important . I don't really see how the idea that we've made a ton of progress in human flourishing in the past couple of centuries could be controversial.Enlightenment Now is a long and dense book, but be sure to read it all the way to the end, because all through this masterful narrative of our society, there are some of the most profound paragraphs, pages and chapters I’ve ever read.

This is one of my favorite books of all time, perhaps my most favorite. I need a long time to think about and sort out all the ideas in this book. After spending the past month reading and studying it, it’s become clear to me that I need to adjust my point of view on many issues. One thing is certain: I will carry with me the ideas, concepts, and most importantly, the way of thinking that I’ve learned in Enlightenment Now for the rest of my life.

I picked up a very interesting book off of Amazon recently titled Apotheosis Now: Rabbit Hole to the Beyond, by Yanhao Huang. The book takes the reader on a journey to one’s inner self to accomplish multiple things but among them happiness, inner peace and success. The author has a somewhat holistic approach to morph the readers by having them reflect not only on themselves but how they fit into the community of all other people. I liked how right out of the chute Yanhao asks us to ponder a question, do we want success or do we want happiness? Interesting indeed as the author goes on to explain our societal viewpoints that success is happiness is not necessarily true, and most times false. We are given wisdom on how to separate fact from fiction by following a simple plan laid out to get a conception of what is real, gain control and then improve based on what one finds. The author takes you on a journey to explore your inner soul and connect with it, revise the thought pattern and experience a deeper connection with others and the surrounding world. I found it most interesting in the section of the book where Huang personifies our ego, exposes the characteristics commonly found in ego and helps one to overcome it. There are other gems in the text as well but I will leave those for you to enjoy finding after you get your own copy. This is a pleasant easy read that I recommend you get so that it may take you to a place of tranquility on your own journey to find happiness.

If you are looking for some deep thoughts this is the book you shall pick up. The book opens up with an interesting question of what you really want in life as the writer states it as rabbit hole . Deification, or liberation from terrestrial existence, is referred to as apotheosis. When you see the headline, it may cause you to be concerned, but it is deceptive. The main point (I believe) is that the ego leads you astray and forces you to make irrational decisions.
It's a legitimate issue, but Huang's method varies from that of other authors in how he avoids the cultural structures that shape our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. The author quotes and stories from some of the world's ('world' being the term there) finest brains throughout the book, tapping into our forebears' long-forgotten, hard-won knowledge. ‘Apotheosis Now' is more than simply one man's observations; it's a meticulously curated patchwork of timeless ideas that still resonate in today's society.
The book is full with anecdotes and perhaps represents a philosophy that may benefit certain readers. However, the majority of the statements are claims, and many of them are paradoxical in nature. Many are valid, but not all are justified, and the debate about God is humorous. As a result, "God cannot know everything since God is everything." If you are looking for some new perspectives and answers this is your go to book !

“Do you want happiness or success?” That is the opening question of this deep and enlightened book. Author Yanhao Huang brings us a book filled with sparks of knowledge and eye-opening revelations of the human mind. It touches on specific points such as happiness and what it means to be happy, deconstructs ideas placed by society, provides a deep look at ones ego and the capacity we all have once we find out who we really are.
This book is separated into 8 chapters, all with specific topics in them. The way Huang has written this book allows the reader to easily feel identified and follow along each chapter as they receive a new perspective of themselves.
In my opinion, this book is a wonderful and powerful tool for those who might feel stuck in a loop they cannot escape from. In today’s time and age, it’s very easy to fall into a situation or moment in life where we forget ourselves and it’s as if the world is running us over. This book will teach you how to change those energies and allow the universe to work in your favor all while learning about yourself. It’s truly a breath of fresh air and I think it’s the type of book anyone can easily comprehend.
I myself have felt plenty of times overwhelmed, overworked and unhappy at my current situations. After reading closely and paying attention to all the details and tools this book has given me, I’ve felt myself more connected and better with myself and with the people, things and moments surrounding me. Wisdom can come to all of us in many different ways and I believe that this wonderful book called Apotheosis Now: Rabbit Hole To Beyond has truly touched my soul and given me a new vision of myself and life.
I highly recommend this book to all who are in need of a new view or understanding of themselves and projection of who they want to become. Truly enriching and enlightening!
