SANTE FE, N.M. – For Joseph Daniel McDonald, the road to enlightenment was not always a breezy trip to bliss.
Let’s just say this ain’t no “Chicken Soup for the Soul” kind of book. Instead it is a very real, down-and dirty, lusty life chronicle and it could very possibly change your life. McDonald compares the book with more of an adventure book then a spiritual book, like an “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Dharma” adventure. Though bumpy at times, McDonald’s pathway to enlightenment was filled with treasures along the way that he bestows with his readers! His new book, If a Fool Like Dan Can Be Enlightened, So Can You! is in itself an enlightening read and conveys the author’s uncommon path and his eventual awakening. McDonald encapsulates difficult eastern philosophies and Americanizes them for his readers through illustrations and his dog named Ganesha. He also declares to the reader that it is every human being’s birthright to become self-realized. Learning to meditate is your ticket to truth.
McDonald is not the typical soul-seeker; he eats meat, prefers a good party to group meditation, and suffers from “an array of personal defects.” But his lower nature never dwindled his “passionate desire to find God and figure out what the hell this ‘enlightenment’ thing is everyone talks about. Famous people claim it’s the best buzz in the universe. Me? I’ve always liked a good buzz, so I figured enlightenment was for me, too.” McDonald explores his darker side right along with the lighter side of his life, by taking his readers on a ride exploring his wild times in liberal San Francisco to his spiritual retreat in the Himalaya Mountains of India. In this children’s book for adults, McDonald teaches us about being human, being humble, and loving our totality. Without the poo poo, you can’t smell a rose!
Despite a suicide attempt, an earthquake, a tsunami, stitches and broken bones, plus a near death experience, McDonald triumphs over these obstacles and is graced with his ultimate goal. You will discover miracles and joy, beyond your wildest imagination in this gem of a book. So fasten your seatbelts, you’re in for a ride!
