But it was starting to look like the hidden truth of things was that nothing was real, everything was suffering, and he didn't really exist. In these essays Danyl explores ideas and paths that he hopes will make him freer and happier - or, at least, less trapped, less medicated and less depressed. He stays at a monastery and meditates for eight hours a day. He spends time with members of a new global movement who try to figure out how to do the most possible good in the world. He reads forbiddingly complex papers on neuroscience and continental philosophy and shovels clay with a Buddhist monk until his hands bleed. He tries to catch a bus. Tranquillity and Ruin is a light-hearted contemplation of madness, uncertainty and doom. It's about how, despite everything we think we know about who we are, we can still be surprised by ourselves. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 21st century|2fast 648 7 2000-2099|2fast 650 0 New Zealand essays|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2004009801|y21st century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012478 650 7 New Zealand essays.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1736295 655 2 Essay.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020474 655 4 New Zealand essays|y21st century.|5Nz 655 7 essays.|2aat 655 7 Essays.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919922 655 7 Essays.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/ gf2014026094 776 08 |iPrint version:|tTranquillity and ruin|z9781776564118 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=3026740|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
