Review of Ocean of Self by Mark Spencer

Ocean of Self: An ocean diver explores the nature of consciousness by Mark N. Spencer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I loved the premise of this book - "exploring the notion of a universal ocean of consciousness" using diving and ocean exploration as a metaphor. However, for me, it just didn't quite deliver the goods as it didn't seem to move enough away from diving and more into spiritual exploration.

This is a beautiful book, with gorgeous imagery, but I really did find it geared very much toward diving and ocean exploration which couldn't grab me.

There is breathtaking underwater photography, and the book is well-written. Highly recommended if you are a diver, snorkeler, boater who may also be interested in exploration of our universal unconscious.

Thank you, Netgalley and Mark Spencer, for providing me a complementary copy of the book in return for a fair and unbiased review.
