Book Signing - BE NOBODY - Lama Marut

Lama Marut will be doing a book signing at the Tibet House US Gallery for his new book "Be Nobody".

Lama Marut calls for the biggest revolution of all: the overthrow of our obsessive quest to be somebody.

“When we strive to be somebody, we are actually striving to be somebody else. This somebody else is the root of all our problems. The key to awakening is being who you already are. But as Lama Marut dares to tell us in this delightfully written and wise book: this authentic somebody is nobody at all. Reading this book is easy, and understanding is liberating. I invite you to do both.” —Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author of Perennial Wisdom for the Spiritually Independent

“This is an amazingly powerful piece of work from a truly unique and dynamic nobody.” - Mary McDonnell, Actress

“In his trademark emphatic and no-nonsense style, Lama Marut provides a much needed critique of modernity that cuts to the root of every problem we currently face on the planet.” - Dr. Miles Neale, Buddhist Psychotherapist and Assistant Director of the Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science

“Here’s some help in kicking your ego’s butt, so that you can create a genuine spiritual life.” - Lisa Selow, life coach & author of A Rebel Chick Mystic’s Guide
