Strengthening, calming, and stabilizing the mind is the essential first step in accomplishing nearly any goal. Growing up American with a Tibetan twist, Sakyong Mipham talks to Westerners as no one can: in idiomatic English with stories and wisdom from American culture and the great Buddhist teachers. Turning the Mind Into an Ally makes it possible for anyone to achieve peace and clarity in their lives.
Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Is the mind our enemy? It can be, suggests Shambhala International's director Mipham in his first book.

His courage and humility are what Heroes are made of and should be a source of inspiration to all who know of his ordeal! I highly recommend this book for his story alone.. I might recommend Ray Miller's 'Volkswagen Bug: The People's Car,' or Terry Shuler's 'Volkswagen, Then, Now, and Forever.' Mr Miller's book is full of photos depicting model year changes and factual information. As Burton describes some of them--"Not all my gigs were in up scale surroundings. So if you want a humorous, erotic read with a vampire and some villainous action thrown in, this is for you!. What else can I say..
