His first fifty or so years were pretty good. He felt he had it all, until one day he didn’t. Seeking understanding, he calls on Volya Rinpoche, a wise man and spiritual leader. A man who accepts the world as it comes to him, a man without pride or vanity. But Rinpoche, as it turns out, is experiencing his own time of doubt. In hopes of finding answers to life’s mysteries, the two embark on a journey through America, an amusing and enlightening road trip that becomes a lesson in love and gratitude.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055685845232,"sku":"9781616205997","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781616205997_p0.jpg?v=1769904497","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781616205997","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
