A Buddhist View series
The insightful simplicity of De Botton meets the wisdom of the Dalai Lama in this series exploring key life issues from a
Buddhist perspective. These titles offer accessible excursions into the philosophy of contemporary living. From loneliness to
the nature of the mind to vegetarianism, A Buddhist View provides a modern Buddhist perspective on the 21st Century.
We launched a new series design and three new titles in summer 2012. Solitude and Loneliness, Finding the Mind, and
Meditating provide new philosophical and spiritual explorations of contemporary issues and lifestyles.
