Against the Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries

Its the life story of Noah that should inspire all.He was out of control in the extreme , drugs violence jail but he won his life back and more.Inspiring for those that are lost and the ones that are interested in the understanding than "right speech" is more than kissing behinds.So many people go down the drain , this one is swimming against the stream of defeat !I recommend this book to all that wanna get positively inspired .

I thoroughly enjoyed Noah's engaging book. He speaks very honestly about his own personal journey & his decision to embrace the spiritual path. His pithy, humorous, direct style in espousing the essential truth of the Dhama is appealing. I found his socially engaged approach to living the truth of the Buddha's Awakening encouraging & inspiring.

Exactly as described, smooth purchase and delivery :-)

Easy read.

This book is highly reccomended as a way into bringing Buddhism into modern western life in a real way. Noah Levine writes with clarity, rawness and directness, encouraging the reader through well thought through (and well lived through - in Noah's case) teachings on the path of the 'Dharma Punk'. We must go against the stream in order to change. Powerful stuff.

This book is very good - as a have a go Buddhist and an aging punk rocker it landed on my desk at a very apt time in my life. I have also used some of the lessons I took from the book and have applied them to the real world. Good read and will be checking out the other titles by Noah

Supporting a religion that takes & programmes children to spend their lives preaching their gospel, is nothing short of sick. This religion is as corrupt as any other: Priests living in the lap of luxury; systematic covering up of paedophilia; parents being paid to have their children taken away & so on.Don't believe the hype.
