Stephen Batchelor
Stephen Batchelor's seminal work on humanity's struggle between good and evil.
In the national best seller Living with the Devil, Batchelor traces the trajectory from the words of the Buddha and Christ, through the writings of Shantideva, Milton, and Pascal, to the poetry of Baudelaire, the fiction of Kafka, and the findings of modern physics and evolutionary biology to examine who we really are and to rest in the uncertainty that we may never know. Like his previous best seller, Buddhism without Beliefs, Living with the Devil is also an introduction to Buddhism that encourages listeners to nourish their "buddha nature" and make peace with the devils that haunt human life. He tells a poetic and provocative tale about living with life's contradictions that will challenge you to live your life as an existence imbued with purpose, freedom, and compassion-rather than habitual self-interest and fear.

This was tremendously insightful and a wonderful supplement to other contemporary Buddhist introductory texts, though by no means are the subjects discussed herein introductory or cursory in nature.

The book threads the interrelatedness of Buddhism to other religions and the concept of the devil and also reflects on how Buddhism relates to science, evolution, psychology, modern world issues and the many personas and mind states that characterize each of us as individuals. The book also critiques some of the corrupt forces that have molded Buddhism throughout its history and away from the original intent of the Buddha.
For me, it would be listening to again to fortify many of the concepts. There is a lot to this book.
