Money, Sex, War, Karma

David R. Loy is, hands down, one of the most important thinkers writing today. His work is always sophisticated and trenchant - and Money, Sex, War, Karma is his most accessible and broadly appealing work to date. While offering decisively clear presentations of subtle and often-misunderstood Buddhist staples-the working of karma; the nature of the self and the causes of our troubles on an individual and societal scale-Loy also invites us to examine such topics as "Why We Love War" and the real reasons behind our sense of never having enough of the all the things we constantly strive after-money, sex, time, security and all the rest. Loy's "Buddhist Revolution" is nothing less than radical change to the way we approach our lives, the environment, and collective delusions that pervade our culture-even to Buddhism and spirituality itself. Bracing yet ultimately hopeful and empowering, Money, Sex, War, Karma is not to be missed.
