by Ram Dass
First published 2021
Ram Dass awakens in a hospital bed, his memories clouded. As he pieces together his past, he recounts a life-altering pilgrimage to India, where a fateful encounter with a revered guru set him on a path of radical self-inquiry. Grappling with his own mortality, Ram Dass must confront the ghosts of his former self and the price of enlightenment. In this intimate portrait, one man's search for meaning becomes a universal meditation on the power of love, acceptance, and the unbounded nature of the human spirit.
