About this book

"In life, it's important to have a destination. Then you need a ride. Our Buddhist cab driver guides us safely down the sometimes slippery Dharma Road, pointing out the Buddhist landmarks along the way--the four noble truths, precepts, and eightfold path--before taking a hard left for a coffee break and a quick lesson in patience. Dharma Road is street-level Zen for people who live in the real-world, those of us stuck in traffic worrying about the details--making the rent, meeting our deadlines, craving the latest smartphone--too busy to notice the light hitting the motor oil on the wet pavement creating a rainbow."--P. [4] of cover. "An introduction to Buddhism, Zen, the Four Noble Truths, and the Eightfold Path."

Buddha

Deepak Chopra

Buddha is synonymous with the term 'enlightenment'. Although we see him as a calm, benevolent figure, the actual life story of Buddha was tumultuous and dramatic. No other human being has lived such a life. What better way to grip the reader than to tell Buddha's story from the inside? Chopra carries the reader from Buddha's birth to the time of enlightenment - how he experienced such depths of despair and heights of ecstasy, renounced love in favour of spiritual perfection, and contained in one body enough wisdom to change the world.

The Fountainhead

Ayn Rand

The Fountainhead is a 1943 novel by Ayn Rand. It was Rand's first major literary success and brought her fame and financial success. More than 6.5 million copies of the book have been sold worldwide.
