A Buddhist’s Journey from Near Death to New Life
Publisher: Atria, September 2003

For Lewis Richmond, overcoming a swift and devastating brain disease was only the beginning of an intense, protracted journey of recovery. But the Buddhist teachings that sustained him throughout his adult life would prove essential in guiding him back to wellness – and toward rebirth and transformation. Richmond shares the lessons he learned and the wisdom he won in sickness and in health. This memoir is an affirmation – and a celebration – of life, and a testament to the human spirit.

Publisher: Atria, February 2004

A Whole Life’s Work addresses a primary struggle of contemporary life: how to strike a balance between achievement and ambition on the one hand, and happiness and fulfillment on the other. Through teaching stories, spiritual exercises, and interviews, the book provides an invaluable roadmap toward the ultimate reconciliation of outer livelihood with inner life, so that when we have grown old we can look back and say: I did the best I could, what I did counted, I am satisfied.
