What i dont understand is that Steve had never mention Carlos Castaneda.

It seems strange to me - Steve reads and recommends a lot of authors. Maybe because my own interest in personal development (PD) began after reading books about Don Juan. So modern works about intention-manifestation, lucid dreaming, taking responsibility and other great topics seem to have a lot of common with Castaneda books.

Given that Steve read over 600 (or 800) PD books, didnt he missed such a great (imho) author or what are the reasons to ignore him (ignore means not recommend or mention)?

P.S.
Reccently I've read a pair of Dan Millman books recommended by Steve. Compared to Castaneda they are for kids.
