What Would Buddha Do? came first, on the heels of the “What Would Jesus Do?” phenomenon. Why should Jesus get all the press, right? And, since it was so well received, I teamed up with the delightful business author BJ Gallagher to write What Would Buddha Do at Work?. I then decided to write the book I needed when I was a teenager (and, frankly, still need): Buddha in Your Backpack. Most recently I wanted to share my most practical everyday techniques—what I call my “shallow practices”—with this wistful world. I did that in Just Add Buddha.

Yes, I am working on a new book. A novel. A mystery novel. A historical mystery novel.

A spiritual historical mystery novel.

Just shoot me now.
