He also offers a structured meditation program to help readers integrate transformational insights at deeper levels of consciousness where genuine change becomes possible.

Recounting stories from his own journey, Michie illustrates the relevance of Shantidevas breakthrough teachings to a typically busy Westerner with warmth and humor.
