Crazy Wisdom Saves the World Again!:
Handbook for a Spiritual Revolution

published by Cody's Books

Coming at a desperate time for the p***t, Crazy Wisdom Saves the World Again! draws from religion, evolution, cosmology, and Buddhism, and calls for a new spirituality-one that fits our modern, scientific worldview. Wes "Scoop" Nisker shows why life is beautiful ("Be Here Wow!") and invites all sentient beings to celebrate. Here is a seriously funny manifesto for Nisker fans and anyone looking for crazy wisdom to help cope with today's world.
