Synopsis:
Challenging spiritual and psychological belief systems that teach that one must let go of desire in order to be free from suffering, a guide to achieving deeper self-awareness through an understanding of one's desires draws on Buddhist parables to counsel readers on overcoming self-defeating habits, the perceptions of others, and feelings of incompleteness. 30,000 first printing.
