From the Author
"Sluyter's fresh, enticing manifesto of found wisdom from the scrap heap of popular culture highlights the right stuff. This dean’s instruction goes down easy, nourishes both heart and mind, and tickles the funny bone too. I found plenty of good eggs in his basket."
– Lama Surya Das, author of AWAKENING THE BUDDHA WITHIN
"A brilliant, funny, profound and crazy vision of the sacredness in everyday life. I didn't know whether to laugh at its wit or cry at its insight. If Franny and Zooey are your friends, this book will mean a lot to you."
– Jane Cavolina, author of GROWING UP CATHOLIC
"This is a witty and wonderfully wise presentation of the freedom of non-desire (but I cannot guarantee that it liberates completely, because I often wished I had written it)."
–Sylvia Boorstein, author of IT'S EASIER THAN YOU THINK
"Dean Sluyter is an enthusiast: for language, for life, and for the juice of it all — the rich living gravy that oozes out of every nuance of experience. The nature of reality is our most fundamental teacher and it speaks of itself everywhere and in everything — Dean Sluyter has listened to the rumours for years and now he presents them with delicious fun and lightness."
– Ngakpa Chogyam Rinpoche, author of SPECTRUM OF ECSTASY
"Sluyter proves to be a subtle and imaginative guide through the contemporary world of pop culture, dazzling us with epiphanies growing out of jingles, jokes, and folk sayings. He provides fresh takes on faith, devotion, grace, being present, beauty, practice, selflessness, forgiveness, and simplicity. Like the best spiritual teachers, Sluyter lets light in from many angles — in this case, the wisdom of Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, and more. WHY THE CHICKEN CROSSED THE ROAD is a surefire demonstration of why play is an essential ingredient in spiritual growth."
– Frederic A. Brussat, VALUES & VISIONS REVIEWS SERVICE

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BooksRun, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
