Buddhist practice as a challenge to convention

Noah Levine presents Buddhism through the idea of going “against the stream,” connecting the Buddha’s teachings with a path that challenges the norms of its time. The book introduces Buddhist basics through personal anecdotes, exercises, and guided meditations. Levine also draws on his own account of turning to Buddhist meditation after addiction and crime, alongside his experience counseling and teaching others. The combination of introductory material and practical activities gives the book both a spiritual framework and a set of exercises to engage with.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an introduction to Buddhist teachings and practice
  • Readers interested in guided meditations and practical exercises
  • Those interested in a personal account connecting Buddhist practice with recovery

Book overview

Buddha was a revolutionary. His practice was subversive; his message, seditious. His enlightened point of view went against the norms of his day—in his words, "against the stream." His teachings changed the world, and now they can change you too.
Presenting the basics of Buddhism with personal anecdotes, exercises, and guided meditations, bestselling author Noah Levine guides the reader along a spiritual path that has led to freedom from suffering and has saved lives for 2,500 years. Levine should know. Buddhist meditation saved him from a life of addiction and crime. He went on to counsel and teach countless others the Buddhist way to freedom, and here he shares those life-changing lessons with you. Read and awaken to a new and better life.
