The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: The Spiritual Classic & International Bestseller

“A magnificent achievement. In its power to touch the heart, to awaken consciousness, [The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying] is an inestimable gift.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

A newly revised and updated edition of the internationally bestselling spiritual classic, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, written by Sogyal Rinpoche, is the ultimate introduction to Tibetan Buddhist wisdom. An enlightening, inspiring, and comforting manual for life and death that the New York Times calls, “The Tibetan equivalent of [Dante’s] The Divine Comedy,” this is the essential work that moved Huston Smith, author of The World’s Religions, to proclaim, “I have encountered no book on the interplay of life and death that is more comprehensive, practical, and wise.”

In 1927, Walter Evans-Wentz published his translation of an obscure Tibetan Nyingma text and called it the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Popular Tibetan teacher Sogyal Rinpoche has transformed that ancient text, conveying a perennial philosophy that is at once religious, scientific, and practical. Through extraordinary anecdotes and stories from religious traditions East and West, Rinpoche introduces the reader to the fundamentals of Tibetan Buddhism, moving gradually to the topics of death and dying. Death turns out to be less of a crisis and more of an opportunity. Concepts such as reincarnation, karma, and bardo and practices such as meditation, tonglen, and phowa teach us how to face death constructively. As a result, life becomes much richer. Like Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Sogyal Rinpoche opens the door to a full experience of death. It is up to the reader to walk through. –Brian Bruya

Self-Empowerment: Nine Things the 19th Century Can Teach Us About Living in the 21st

The past comes to the rescue as a Washington, D.C., reporter / talk show host and a spiritual medium turn back the clock on self-help, pointing readers in the direction of history in order to help them heal from physical, psychological, and spiritual ailments.
In this thoroughly researched book, Anne Gehman and Ellen Ratner give credence to the pioneers who risked their lives, homes, and reputations to bring us some of the most effective alternative treatments in self-help and spirituality known today. In our search for understanding our minds, bodies, and spirits, we have become more open than ever to “alternative” treatments like homeopathy, prayer mediation, herbal remedies, psychic mediums, Eastern medicine, and many others.
When Ellen Ratner experienced chronic anxiety, she sought out a holistic psychiatrist who treated her using a little-known science called Coherent Breathing. It worked. Ratner dug deeper into this science and discovered invented and cultivated treatments that were so ahead of their time and far away from traditional medicine that their practitioners were deemed witches or charlatans. But, still, they persevered.
Together, Ratner and Gehman explore the lives, ideologies, philosophies, and intellect of hundreds of history’s greatest healers and pioneers, among them names we know, like Appleseed and Mesmer, and others, who we will soon meet in the pages of this enlightening book.
