After a long break from writing, Darryl returns with an unsparingly honest account of his own journey, from the confusion of teenage spirituality, through years of intense practice and contact with teachers—and working to earn a living in many countries. Darryl tells of his experiences of being an international ‘teacher’: how he reacted to the projections and requests for a formula for living, his own realisations and his current gently dynamic approach.

Darryl’s journey through searching, realisations, disillusionments and what came after has led him to a new, fresh and clear perspective. He invites us to explore our own experience, pointing to what most people overlook or ignore, asking some essential questions and considering some surprising answers.

Spontaneously drawn to meditation at age fourteen, Darryl spent the next 17 years exploring awareness and concentration within Eastern and Western traditions. He then spent 9 years with mindfulness teacher Ruth Denison and another 6 years as a meditation monk in the Thai Forest Tradition, under the guidance of Ajahn Sumedho.

Darryl now works with a simple yet profound approach: a very gentle but constant consideration of our common experience.

Darryl is the author of three other books, Dismantling the Fantasy, Essence Revisited and Buddhessence.

    A new book from Darryl Bailey? Yay! This book is poignant, human, loving, and a true gift to humanity. Relative to the population of the world, few will read it. And fewer still will accept it. I sincerely hope you are one of those! Thank you, Darryl - you are very kind and generous.

    Short, concise, easy to read, this is the type of book I'd recommend to people just starting to look into non-duality and for those who have been down the rabbit hole.

    Another awesome book by Darryl that clarifies non-duality ideology and points to the flow of beingness and actuality rather than fixated conceptual story-making.... Highly recommended!

    5.0 out of 5 stars All that’s needed
    Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019
    I have read countless books on nonduality and in retrospect have taken in a lot of convoluted and confusing material. The mind will want to make this more “spiritual” or “pleasing” and it will certainly want to make this more complicated. A rule of thumb that works is if it requires belief then “throw it overboard.”

    Nisargadatta, Alan Watts and the rest are wonderful and entertaining reads, but the presentation is often overly complicated. I view those more like poetry to be enjoyed as opposed to a guide to nonduality. This book is all that is needed and simply points to the “unknowing” that can simply (and gently) be verified in any moment. If this proves challenging, then I suggest one set up a time to talk with Darryl via his website. I have found that to be a very helpful supplement...Big Love and many thanks Darryl!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A heart-warming sharing along with wisdom.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    For those readers seeking for peace and contentment, Darryl's previous books never gave us a practice to follow in order to achieve this, but in a very clear and jargon-free way he always pointed us back to our own lives, and our own experience, along with a gentle nudge to perhaps see these from a different perspective.
    In this new book he shares with us his own long and varied path of investigation which many of us vintage seekers may find not only illuminating and leaving us with fellow feeling, but with the realization that our efforts may not have been in vain. In the last few chapters he leaves us with 5 important points to explore. These encapsulate his main teachings both from his books and excellent podcasts. If we investigate these points as he suggests, and ponder their relevance to our daily lives, then what more do we need?
