Thaddeus Golas is a lazy man. Laziness keeps him from believing that enlightenment demands effort, discipline, strict diet, non-smoking and other evidences of virtue. He found a way to enlighten himself - and you - with two sentences. The first is We are equal beings and the universe is our relations with each other. The second? The universe is made of one kind of entity; each one is alive, each determines the course of his own existence. If you remember this, that's all you really need to know to understand this book. Originally published in 1972, and in print for 15 years, THE LAZY MAN'S GUIDE TO ENLIGHTNMENT teaches you, amongst other things, how to feel good.

"While we have humility and pride enough to act on the knowledge that we exist in an infinite harmony, that we are neither greater nor lesser than any others, we can enjoy exquisite spiritual wealth and pleasures. When you love yourself, you are in truth expanding in love into many other things. And the more loving you are, the more loving the beings within and around you. On all levels we are mutually dependent vibrations. Play a happy tune and happy dancers will join your trip." - From The Lazy Man's Guide to EnlightenmentAfter serving in World War II, author Thaddeus Golas graduated from Columbia College in New York.

The Life of Thaddeus Golas, Author of "The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment."Thaddeus Golas' autobiography is a slice of history...The Lazy Man's Life is a first person account from a witness of the Psychedelic 60s... It is the true tale of a bright young man who followed the star of wisdom, and turned his back on the American Dream, cheerfully plunging into chaos, long before dropping-out became fashionable.Thaddeus Golas was known for writing only one book, The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment, a small, popular spiritual guide favored by the LSD counterculture.Penned in San Francisco, at the tipping point of the hippie revolution of the 1960s, the book caused quite a sensation and penetrated the respectable 'self-help' literature circles. Yet, Thaddeus Golas lived his life in relative oblivion.When he passed away in the spring of 1997 he left behind a treasure trove of unfinished writings and barely completed manuscripts.The Lazy Man's Life is the story of a life well lived, but also a fascinating historical document which takes us all the way from the Great Depression, through Albert Einstein's Atomic revolution, into the rise and fall of the psychedelic movement. This is a delightfully iconoclastic spiritual journey through a fascinating time.

Part autobiography, part philosophical inquiry, and part spiritual quest, Comedy Sex God is a hilarious, profound, and enlightening romp around the fertile mind of stand-up stand-out, podcast king, and HBO superstar Pete Holmes. Pete Holmes is a sold-out-every-night stand-up comedian with two HBO specials and the host of the hugely successful podcast You Made It Weird, and he was the creator-star of the hit HBO show Crashing. But it wasn’t always roses for Pete. Growing up, Pete was raised an evangelical Christian, but his religion taught him that being “bad”—smoking, drinking, having doubts or premarital sex—would get him sent to an eternity in hell. So, terrified of the God he loved, Pete devoted his life to being “good,” even marrying his first girlfriend at the age of twenty-two only to discover a few years later he was being cheated on. Thanks for nothing, God. Pete’s failed attempt at a picture-perfect life forced him to reexamine his beliefs, but neither atheism, nor Christianity, nor copious bottles of Yellow Tail led him to enlightenment. Pete longed for a model of faith that served him and his newfound uncertainties about the universe, so he embarked on a soul-seeking journey that continues to this day. Through encounters with mind-altering substances, honing his craft in front of thousands of his comedy fans, and spending time with savants like Ram Dass, Pete forged a new life—both spiritually and personally. Beautifully written and often completely hilarious—imagine Dass’s Be Here Now if penned by one of the funniest people alive—Comedy Sex God reveals a man at the top of his game and a seeker in search of the deeper meanings of life, love, and comedy.
