Book 22nd EditionBuddhismAgingResilience
This book is a sequel to Romancing the Buddha. The many perspectives and experiences reveal how SGI Nichiren Buddhism together with Daisaku Ikeda's guidance and psychotherapy have continued to help my wife and me deal with life's daily struggles including aging and surviving (and thriving) in a conflicted world.
With the same candor and humor that made the first book a best-seller, this sequel digs deeper — exploring what it means to sustain a spiritual practice across decades, through illness, loss, and the ordinary chaos of family life.
"I admire the candor with which he talks about his dysfunctional childhood and his depression, his wife's multiple sclerosis and the numerous other problems of living that beset human beings over the course of a long life. There is no preaching here — simply a pointing out of the fact that Buddhism has been the mainstay for him and his wife for the last five decades and the hope that readers will benefit from his experience. Michael tells it like it is, minus the hype and the hoopla."
