These thirty-four powerful essays, poems, and dialogs based on Taoist and Buddhist thought constitute a guide to what the author calls 'non-volitional living' -- the ancient understanding that our efforts to grasp our true nature are futile. While this may sound disheartening, fully comprehending this truth is the key to our liberation. This final volume in the author's output of eight books will make his many fans' collections of his works complete. The pseudonymous author, one of the earliest and most original interpreters of Buddhism, belongs with Reps, Watts, and Kapleau on the bookshelves of serious students of Eastern spiritual thought.

Reviews for All Else is Bondage: Non-Volitional Living

This is a must read for any parent sending a child to middle school. It captures the pure essence of adolescence. Having spent twenty-five years in the business as a middle school counselor and dealing with so many of the issues presented in this book, I found myself nodding my head throughout the entire book. The situations and suggestions were right on the money! The scenarios presented are very realistic and the advice given in very practical and it works. This book is one of the most comprehensive and well written books on middle schoolers that I have ever read. I can't wait to have this book published so I can recommend it to my parents. -Dedra H. Green Resource Guidance Counselor Montgomery County Public Schools
