The first thing you are going to notice about this book is the unique format. The text of the book follows red thread through the pages. I don’t think there is any grey with this - you’ll hate it or love it.

What you can expect in this book:

  • The book begins with a discussion of the history of mazes, from their earliest origins in ancient Egypt and Greece to their modern-day use in everything from video games to corporate logos.

  • It then explores the psychological and spiritual significance of mazes, arguing that they can be seen as symbols of the journey of life, the process of self-discovery, and the search for meaning.

  • The book also includes a number of personal essays by Eliot, in which he recounts his own experiences with mazes, including his childhood visits to the Hampton Court Maze, his attempts to solve the Chartres Labyrinth, and his participation in a modern-day mystery school that uses mazes as a tool for spiritual development.

What this book does best: The illustrations and format of the book are wonderful. If you click to the Amazon link above you catch watch a short video and see the book layout. Very cool !
