Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Inviting new translations of classical Buddhist texts about why the self is an illusion and why giving it up can free us from sufferingFrom self-realisation and self-promotion to self-help and the selfie, the modern world encourages us to be self-obsessed.

More than 2,500 years ago, the Buddha argued that the self is an illusion and that our belief in it is the cause of most, if not all, of our suffering.
