About the book

Chogyam Trungpa's book sets out the Shambhala vision he founded, which treats warriorship not as violence or aggression but as gentleness, courage and self-knowledge. In his account the sacred warrior finds that human life is basically good and spreads that goodness outward for the peace and sanity of others. Trungpa presents this as a basic human wisdom found in many traditions but owned by none, and as a nonreligious path rooted in meditation and open to people of any faith or none. He applies secular ideas such as basic goodness, bravery and happiness to personal and social problems, aiming at what he calls enlightened society. It first brought this Buddhist warrior path to Western readers.

Yesware founder Matthew Bellows called it the only guide to life that has worked for him consistently across 20 years of his career.
