New Edition of Talks & Dialogues

and also what I've been reading lately

My third book, Painting the Sidewalk with Water: Talks and Dialogs about Non-Duality, has just come out in a new 2023 New Sarum Press edition, now available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats. The book is based mainly on transcripts of meetings I held in the early 2000s, mostly in Chicago, where I lived at the time. The book was originally published in 2010 by Non-Duality Press. When NDP became an imprint of New Harbinger, a second edition came out that corrected one factual error and a few typos in the original, but was otherwise the same text, with a somewhat different cover. This new edition from New Sarum has the same text as the corrected New Harbinger edition along with a new author preface and a newly designed cover.
