Castaneda's now classic book remains controversial for the alternative way of seeing that it presents and the revolution in cognition it demands.In a series of fascinating dialogues, Castaneda sets forth his partial initiation with don Juan Matus, a Yaqui Indian shaman from the state of Sonora, Mexico. The Teachings of Don Juan initiated a generation of seekers dissatisfied with the limitations of the Western worldview. Thirty years ago the University of California Press published an unusual manuscript by an anthropology student named Carlos Castaneda.
