Chris Slatsky grew up in the suburbs of Birmingham, Alabama, in the late 1960s in a small community named Minor. As a little boy, he ran as fast as his little legs will carry him, finding adventure everywhere. He tried to be a mini-version of his father, mimicking his every action and sticking up for his family's Catholic beliefs. In high school, he enjoyed wrestling, even though he hardly ever won a match. He hung out with his two best friends, Jed and Jay, and they spent countless days playing pranks and getting in trouble. Before entering graduate school, he met a woman with strawberry blonde hair in church. He learned her name is Sandy and asked her to go to the zoo with him; more than twenty years later, they are still together. Since the day they met, she has relished his folly, and to this day, they playfully engage in flirty competitions for supremacy. But you'll have to read Devilish Deeds of an Absentminded, Lovable Lout to discover who's currently on top in their ongoing competition.

A sophisticated account of the individuation of actions propounds a challenging version of the view that freedom of action is incompatible with determinism as well.

Dzogchen (Great Perfection) goes to the heart of our experience by investigating the relationship between mind and world and uncovering the great secret of mind's luminous nature. Weaving in personal stories and everyday examples, Pema Rigtsal leads the reader to see that all phenomena are the spontaneous display of mind, a magical illusion, and yet there is something shining in the midst of experience that is naturally pure and spacious. Not recognizing this natural great perfection is the root cause of suffering and self-centered clinging. After introducing us to this liberating view, Pema Rigtsal explains how it is stabilized and sustained in effortless meditation: without modifying anything, whatever thoughts of happiness or sorrow arise simply dissolve by themselves into the spaciousness of pure presence. The book is divided into chapters on the view, meditation as the path, conduct, the attainment, and the four bardos. Each chapter consists of mini-sections that can be read as stand-alone Dharma talks. Pema Rigtsal has studied and lived with several authentic Dzogchen masters and has surprising stories to tell about their unconventional methods to introduce students to the subtle view of Dzogchen.
