People read books for many reasons… some read novels for
entertainment, some for knowledge, some to escape reality, some to
find solutions to problems…. and some to find enlightenment… but of
all the books people read and all the reasons for reading them… few
would likely approach the great classics of literature with the
expectation of finding nirvana. But that’s about to change. Because
in his latest book, The Dharma Bum’s Guide to Western Literature
award winning author Dean Sluyter unpacks the dharma of more than
20 major writers, from Hemingway, Whitman, & William Blake to
Shakespeare, Dickinson, Salinger, Twain, & Dr. Seuss to
demonstrate how inspiration and spiritual insight can be found
anywhere, at any time, in any situation to inspire readers to
deepen their own spiritual life and see literature in a fresh new
way, as a path of awakening.

DEAN SLUYTER has taught authentic, traditional approaches to
meditation and awakening since 1970. He gives talks, workshops, and
retreats throughout the united states and beyond, from ivy league
colleges to maximum-security prisons and has been featured on NPR,
Coast to Coast am, The Dr. Oz Show, and in the New York Times and O
the Oprah magazine. Dean Sluyter is the author of several books
including Cinema Nirvana – Enlightenment Lessons from the Movies,
Fear Less – Living Beyond Fear, Anxiety, Anger and Addiction, The
Zen Commandments, Natural Meditation and more. He co-hosts The
Filmosophers podcast aimed at fans of films and spirituality in
which he and co-host Chris Busch talk about films with the people
who make and love the movies.
