Summary: In best-selling author and former monk Stephen Batchelor's seminal work on our greatest struggle - to become good - he traces the trajectory from the words of the Buddha and Christ through the writings of Shantideva Milton and Pascal to the poetry of Baudelaire the fiction of Kafka and the findings of modern physics and evolutionary biology to examine who we really are and to rest in the uncertainty that we may never know. Whether we are religious or not the Devil - evil incarnate - is a concept that can still strike fear in our hearts. - From Amazon.
