I've begun a memoir about my lifelong spiritual journey and the many extraordinary teachers I encountered. I was fortunate to be involved in the early formative phases of both Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta in North America, and I'm feeling moved to share some of the insights and interactions, in the hope that they might inspire others.

As a teacher of both mindfulness and the "direct approach" to spiritual awakening, I felt it was important to distinguish the two and offer readers an alternative to mindfulness, especially in light of its growing popularity. I also wanted to critique the practice of mindfulness and describe some of the pitfalls for those who aspire to deeper realization. Beyond Mindfulness: The Direct Approach to Lasting Peace, Happiness, and Love is the first book I know of to do this.
