Description

Spiritual Snake Oil: Fads & Fallacies in Pop Culture, by Chris Edwards.
"Spiritual Snake Oil scathingly and entertainingly dissects the preachings of the most prominent New Age snake oil salesmen (and women)—such as Deepak Chopra, Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance), and the authors of The Secret and The Celesting Prophecy—and also goes after the advocates of the oxymoronic "intellectual Christianity" and transhumanism.


Tom Flynn, editor of Free Inquiry, says, "Watching Chris Edwards wield his critical thinking skills is like watching someone walking a brace of pit bulls. . . . No folly escapes unmauled, and no reader will want to miss the fun."


Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic, says, "Spiritual Snake Oil is an important contribution to the burgeoning skeptical literature."
