Paperback. Condition: Good. A novella that features the main characters from Roland Merullo's beloved Buddha Trilogy (Breakfast with Buddha, Lunch with Buddha, and Dinner with Buddha) and explores issues of weight loss and addiction. I've been fascinated for a long time, Merullo says, by the way addiction workswhether it's addiction to food, drugs, alcohol, sex, work, or anything elsethe way it occupies the mind and moves us to do things we know we would be better off not doing. While this deft, emotionally rich tale does not promise to help readers with their troublesome eating habits, Rinpoche's Remarkable Ten-Week Weight Loss Clinic does look at those painful issues from a fresh angle, one full of sympathy and wisdom, and it will certainly please the hundreds of thousands of readers who've already enjoyed the travels and conversations of Otto Ringling and his enlightened teacher.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most avid golfers believe that there is a profound connection between the joys and challenges of golf and the joys and challenges of living - that the more devoted we are to the game, the more we learn about ourselves. In Passion for Golf, Roland Merullo looks carefully at those connections and at the reasons why people find themselves irresistibly attracted to golf. Drawing on the triumphs and travails of playing partners, friends, and family members, and mixing in anecdotes from his own adventures on and off the course, Merullo explores the notion of a 'true goal of golf, ' a hidden attraction that, ultimately, has more to do with deep peace and satisfaction than with the dream of playing on the PGA tour. He finds connections between fairway lessons and the mystical wisdom of Lao Tzu, Theresa of Avila, Thoreau, Jesus, Buddha, and Walt Whitman, among many others, and looks into the role of ego, anger, and silence in golf and life. More than anything else, Passion for Golf is a celebration of the game, an examination of the roots of our passion for it, and a meditation on the lessons every golfer carries away from the course and into his or her life. Publishers Weekly wrote, For average hackers who struggle weekly to lower their scores, this slender, accessible guide offers insight into the emotional stumbling blocks that get in the way of improvement and, most importantly, enjoyment of the game. Readers who enjoyed Michael Murphy's Zen of golf classic, Golf in the Kingdom, should have room for this spiritual journey in their Christmas stocking. And, The Washington Post stated .Merullo provides more than enough food for thought for even the most contemplative golfer.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Every day around the globe there are billions of acts of kindness, courage, generosity, and grace--but we rarely get to hear much about them.It is easier to write about the evil in the world than about the good. Writers who focus on violence, greed, ugliness, and hypocrisy can appear more sophisticated, more intelligent, more mature, more aware of the world's true nature. Award-winning author, Roland Merullo recognizes these challenges to humankind as clearly as anyone, but also believes they get more than their share of coverage, and that cargo of bad news can act as an oppressive weight on the mind.At the start of a recent gray, cold, New England winter, Merullo decided to make a list of some of the remarkable acts he has witnessed, and the generous, kind, and brave people he has had the good fortune to know.Moments of Grace and Beauty is intended to serve as a counterweight to the abundance of trouble in the news, and is offered as evidence of the goodwill still present on earth.…
