The Buddhist on Death Row: How One Man Found Light in the Darkest Place by David Sheff

emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This book was as captivating as it was inspirational. Jarvis's story is a once hard to read and hard to put down, as one might imagine the story if a bodhisattva on death row might be. There is much to be learned here, no matter where you fall, spiritually. It has inspired me to learn more about mindfulness, and has renewed my practice of Stoic philosophy, as Buddhism and Stoicism share many key concepts. I can't remember when I have been so glad to have read a book, and am eager to read Jarvis's writing as well.
