Inner Revolution

Book Summary

Named as one of "Time" magazine's 25 most-influential people of 1997, legendary professor Robert Thurman tells how Buddhism can change one's life . . . and change the world. The New York Times calls him "America's number one Buddhist." He is the co-founder of Tibet House New York, was the first American Tibetan Buddhist monk, and has shared a thirty-five-year friendship with the Dalai Lama. Now, Robert Thurman presents his first completely original book, "an inspiring guide to incorporating Buddhist wisdom into daily life" (USA Today). Written with insight, enthusiasm, and impeccable scholarship, this is not only a practical primer on one of the world's most fascinating traditions but a wide-ranging look at the course of our civilization -- and how we can alter it for the better.
