Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

Most of you signed onto this list in anticipation of\u00a0Facebuddha: Transcendence in the Age of Social Networks<\/a>!\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Well, it’s almost here! The book is in the final stages of interior design, and will be ready to purchase by mid-October. (Check out my cool new website by clicking on the link!)<\/p>\n

In celebration of the publication of my book, which involved at least 2500 hours of writing, editing, thinking and research, I’m hosting a book launch event. Please come,<\/a> and tell your friends! I’m depending on word of mouth to spread news about my book. I’ll be launching my book trailer in late September as soon as the book is available for pre-order as well. You get a copy of the HARDCOVER BOOK and also appetizers and refreshments with your ticket purchase! I know $35 is a lot, but think of it as a Kickstarter to help defray the direct costs of the book. \u00a0If you can’t make it on the 23rd, I’m hosting an Open House on Saturday, October 21 at my office (1734 Fillmore) where you can pick up a copy of the book and hang out. (See Eventbrite page for details.)<\/p>\n

I will be reading from my book, followed by a conversation with F.B. Steele, M.D., psychiatrist and teacher and former Executive Director of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. Rick (as he’s known to many of us) wrote this about Facebuddha:<\/p>\n

“Facebuddha<\/strong><\/i>\u00a0is magnificent, a breathtakingly personal work that combines memoir, media commentary, Buddhist practicum and depth psychology. Like Martin Luther\u2019s theses, these chapters are nailed on the door of the Cathedral of Technology asking us to look beyond our screens by way of reforming contemporary indulgences. As we do so our world moves beneath the surface sheen and towards the interior. Ravi Chandra\u2019s effervescent prose locates compassion, in his own soul and in the soul of humanity, in real world relationships endangered by modernity.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
