Siddhartha (Hardcover)

This book is a beautiful retelling of the story of Gautama Buddha. It takes the reader through his spiritual journey and how and when he attained Enlightenment. Written in a simple and easy-to-understand style, this book will appeal to the young and old alike. This book shows us in more ways than one that the true road to self-discovery is through suffering and pain, and it is the tough times that bring out the best in us.

It is the story of the quest of Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege and comfort to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom. On his journey, Siddhartha encounters wandering ascetics, Buddhist monks, and successful merchants, as well as a courtesan named Kamala and a simple ferryman who has attained enlightenment. Traveling among these people and experiencing life’s vital passages–love, work, friendship, and fatherhood–Siddhartha discovers that true knowledge is guided from within.
