Known for his wit and wisdom, Ajahn Brahm is the bestselling author of "Mindfulness, Bliss, and Beyond"; "Don’t Worry, Be Grumpy"; "Who Ordered this Truckload of Dung?"; and "Kindfulness". A self-described meditation junkie, Ajahn Brahm will share his knowledge and experience of the jhanas and insight, which constitute the heart of the Buddha's original teachings. Never before has this material been approached in such an empowering way by a teacher of such authority and popularity.

Once, when Ajahn Brahm was young, he got lost in the wilderness of England. He eventually found his way out by following a stream downhill. If you are feeling lost in your meditation practice, Ajahn Brahm encourages you to follow your emotion of peace and happiness. Ajahn teaches us that peace and happiness is the direction of progress.
