Here's a much better summary of the book from the author himself:
Q. What is the main message of The Book ? A. The message from Thiaoouba is that material technology, without spiritual knowledge, is leading us to inevitable global catastrophe on Earth. Technology should ASSIST in the spiritual development and not be used (as it is used now) to enslave people within a monetary system and materialistic world, which are both temporary anyway. Superficial is an excellent word you can use to describe the monetary system and materialistic world.
At the moment, we focus most of our attention on our physical bodies, but this is a serious mistake. The physical body, like everything material, is actually temporary, whereas the psyche, being part of the Astral body never dies... We should concentrate on the development of the mind ...
The people of Thiaoouba also stress the importance of our individual free will. "We all have free will and it is up to us to discipline ourselves in order to improve spiritually. To impose one's free will on another, in a way which deprives the individual of exercising his own free will, is one of the greatest crimes that man can commit..."
In view of such a statement, our entire society on Earth is based on wrong principles. Most people are forced to follow the flock... The Book not only describes a full diagnosis of the current situation, but also contains detailed instructions of what to do and how. Specifically, how the same problems have been overcome on other planets similar to ours. The most important is the context of this information: the purpose of our existence, demonstrated by very advanced people, who have themselves passed our current stage of development long, long ago.

Doesnt sound all that interesting to me, but Im not a spiritual person.
That's fine. A lot of people are going to have the same mindset and it's exactly why I said an extremely open mind is necessary to read it. Otherwise you won't care about anything at all. I just think most people should at least give it a chance. At least read the postscript where he talks about how most will view the book
