THE EMPTY PATH

A clear and reasoned antidote to our current epoch of insatiable more-ness, this is a how-to manual and spiritual guidebook for realizing and practicing emptiness as the source of inherent joy and satisfaction in our lives.

By exploring this core, often-misunderstood Buddhist teaching, author Billy Wynne dispels the common misconception that peace and fulfillment will come via accumulation or achievement. He shows that instead of resolving our suffering, the quest for more only increases our problems by preventing us from engaging with the full breadth of our authentic life experience. The book leads readers on a modern-day hero's journey, with Wynne as a guide. He uses real-life examples and accessible practices to help readers wake up to their inherent wholeness, navigate the barriers between self and true peace, and clear a path to replacing existential unease with abundant gratitude and joy. At the other end of this journey, readers will be equipped with insight and tools to greet life with presence, curiosity, and ease. By presenting a new understanding of the emptiness of our experience, THE EMPTY PATH demonstrates how everyone can fundamentally reorient their relationship with life by remembering the truth of what they already are. Billy Wynne has studied Buddhism and mindfulness for 30 years and received lay Zen Buddhist ordination from the Zen Center of Denver, where he now teaches and serves on the board, and certification as a meditation teacher under Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. After traveling the world with an NGO that provides medical care to children, he launched a career as a health and well- being entrepreneur, including founding one of the world's first alcohol-free bars, Awake. Frequently quoted by national news outlets, including the New York Times and Washington Post, Wynne is an experienced commentator and writer celebrated for his ability to make complex concepts digestible and relatable. Billy serves on the Board governing Colorado's new psychedelic therapy program and engages with leaders in Presence-Based CoachingTM.
