What's Wrong with Sex?
How to Drive Your Karma
Consciousness Commodified
The Karma of Food
The Three Poisons, Institutionalized
Why We Love War
These are just some of the chapters in this brilliant book from David R. Loy.
In little time, Loy has become one of the most powerful advocates of the Buddhist worldview, explaining like no one else its ability to transform the sociopolitical landscape of the modern world.
In this, his most accessible work to date, he offers sharp and even shockingly clear presentations of oft-misunderstood Buddhist staples - the working of karma, the nature of self, the causes of trouble on both the individual and societal levels - and the real reasons behind our collective sense of "never enough", whether it's time, money, sex, security...even war.
Loy's "Buddhist Revolution" is nothing less than a radical change in the ways we can approach our lives, our planet, the collective delusions that pervade our language, culture, and even our spirituality.

fantastic read!
This book will be a life changer for many, myself included. It is a gem to have found such a solid digestible read to assist in applying concepts that can be all too often be made over complicated, Buy it! (-:
Very insightful!
David knows his Buddhist logic quite well. This is a very well thought-out guide to understanding Buddhism. A joy to read!
Highly readable
Loy has a unique talent for bringing relevance and clarity to eastern thought. Additionally, I find his works very readable, and not at all in the vein of mathematical dispensations on the logic of such and such philosophical proposition etc. If you've ever felt that you need an extra kick in the spiritual groin to remind you that your culturally ingrained motives toward those 'reality projects' (as he calls them) are really never going to serve you or anyone else, then you should read this.
Good substance, slightly wordy
The points made are very good. If one is a beginner, then this book may seem to be a true eye opener. If more experienced with some Buddhist ways, this begins to get reduntant.
I feel like he uses 10 words when only 4 are needed.
Great book
While I did not agree with everything the author said, it did get me thinking about a lot of issues. I am grateful to the author's good grasp of Buddhist practice and philosophy and have given the book to many of my friends.
