A great book!
I found this book to be hilarious, insightful, fun and informative. The sheer scope of Mr. Nisker's life experiences is mind-boggling and his retelling of these adventures and explorations makes for a very entertaining experience for the reader. I'm at the tail end of the Boomer generation but I found plenty to relate to. Music, politics, religion, mysticism, culture...it's all there. And Mr. ...

Einstein and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings

6 reviews

Ulysses Press, Seastone, 2002

Such a significant book
If Hafiz incarnated and started throwing parties in New York and LA, and if the impossible were to happen at one of his wild bashes -- if one were to start to feel bored -- he might start reading from this wonderful book. Who knows... maybe Einstein and the Buddha will slip into a few dreams of those squatting in the White House and boost their IQ's substantially -- which could then well result ...

Embraces the Spiritual Enigma Beneath Riddles
Riddles are enigmas that show us directly the irrational vigor of life beneath its rational veneer. Like Zen koans, riddles attack the conventional workings of the mind to open the mind beyond reason to the delight of the mystery before us. Phil Cousineau's `A World Treasury of Riddles' is an accessible book about "enigmas, conundrums, puzzle poems, bafflers, charades, logogriphs, teasers, ...

A Revolutionary Delight
CW Saves the World Again is fabulous. Wisdom, wit, deep ecological truths, and a cosmic vision that puts your problems and life into perspective. Funny, deep and easy to read...just the book for a gift or a dharmic cosmic visionary pick me up.

Buddha's Nature: A Practical Guide to Discovering Your Place in the Cosmos

Practical, worthwhile reading.
I recommend this book, especially after first reading Thomas Berry's book, "Dream of the Earth" (1990). Berry's deep-ecology classic, which should be included in Nisker's list of "Recommended Reading," but is not, examines the reasons for rethinking our connection with the earth, and encourages us to take responsibility. Nisker provides advice from a buddhist perspective on how to put Berry's ...

If You Don't Like the News...Go Out and Make Some of Your Own

Great News!
One of my all-time favorite books is Crazy Wisdom, Nisker's previous work. I was doubtful he could surpass himself, but was pleasantly surprised. If You Don't Like the News... Go Out and Make Some of Your Own is an extremely funny and insightful documentary book covering spiritual contributions (and wishful thinking) from the counterculture to the current New Age. Written from personal ...

A large range of writings from dozens of authors, "The Best of Inquiring Mind" is a must for ...

Buddha's Nature: A Practical Guide to Enlightenment Through Evolution

Bantam, 1998

Make room on you Buddhism shelf for this book!
I was skeptical about this book when I first saw it. Was it going to be another lame attempt to reconcile science with religion? My fears were unfounded. I have some training in evolutionary science and I think Wes Nisker does a bang-up job in comparing its discoveries with the revelations of the Buddha. My only criticism is that I don't think the "how-to" part of the works very well - too ...
