Historia
In 2012, 38-year-old Ian Thorson's search for spiritual transcendence ended in tragedy on a remote Arizona mountaintop. His wife, a woman anointed as a goddess by an eccentric Buddhist community, held him in her arms as he slowly died from dehydration and dysentery. For Scott Carney, a journalist and anthropologist who lived in India for six years, Thorson's death was just the most recent iteration of an unspoken epidemic that connected intensive meditation and mental instability.

A Cautious and Dangerously Enlightening Tale.
Revisado: 06-11-23
A fantastic and inspiring book! Several journeys intertwine and are told here in a humble manner which I discovered to be enlightening in and of itself. I listened to the audio book as read by the author. The material was well researched and the stories presented with compassion. It is an educational, insightful, introspective and authentic experience to not only learn about the lives of these seekers but to also get inside their heads a little.
In particular, I really appreciate the way the author shares his personal experiences and knowledge in Tibetan Buddhism, especially relating to the characters and how his own journey intersects with them. Although the author has a stake of sorts in the story, the wisdom is presented in a non-ego and nonjudgemental way. It will indeed have you contemplating your own personal journey in comparison. I highly recommend this book for the intellectually curious and those on a spiritual path. You’re certain to discover a thing or two here in regards to the seldomly-discussed potential dangers in following your bliss.
