The Problem with Being Goal-Oriented

The intention is to awaken, enlighten, enrich, and inspire. Timber Hawkeye is the bestselling author of Buddhist Boot Camp, Faithfully Religionless, and the Opposite of Namaste. He offers a secular approach to being at peace with the world, both within and around us. As the Dalai Lama says, "Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist, use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are."
