Book overview Beer drinkin’ dudes can be enlightened, too.While many enlightenment books suggest that a life of purity, angelic behavior, and a clean diet are requirements for inner peace—the truth isn’t so black and white.I was once like many seekers.

On a spiritual quest to cast out feelings of emptiness and inadequacy.The big questions bothered me: Who am I? How can I find the inner peace I so desperately crave? What is the purpose of my life?After nearly a half decade search for answers, hundreds of hours spent in meditation, and even more time spent reading philosophy, spiritual and Buddhist books, a meeting with an enlightened teacher transformed me: the seeker became an ordinary dude.In this guide you’ll find no gurus.

No monks.

No mystics.

But instead a dude just like you...perhaps someone you’d meet in a bar and chat about life’s big questions till the early hours of the morning.While you’ll learn that enlightenment is much more ordinary than you think, you’ll discover a not-so-ordinary understanding of life and the world we live in.If you want to put the spiritual quest behind you, escape the rat race rush of the modern world and never-ending search for completeness, and find contentment in everyday life, then I invite you to pull up a bar stool, crack a beer, and stay up with me till the wee hours.
