Start a Revolution:
Incite Happiness
A Spiritual Renegade's Guide to the Good Life is an honest, fearless, and often humorous manifesto standing as a practical and achievable (if not radical and revolutionary) blueprint for creating and sustaining happiness in an age of consumerism, self-absorption, and stress.
Through a series of meditations, exercises, and insights, Lama Marut offers a fresh take on our quest for happiness and the good life, here and now.
This book is bound to disrupt your suffering, disturb your dissatisfaction, and elicit a deep-seated contentment. Happiness is in our hands; we only need to shake off our inertia and incite it!

National Book Tour
Join Lama Marut on a 20-city North American book tour, Summer 2012. Speaking engagements with this radical spiritual teacher will include: question and answer sessions, book signings, and public dharma talks.
Lama Marut was born Brian K. Smith to a second-generation Baptist minister. Marut had a strong interest in spirituality from a very young age, along with a passion for motorcycles, surfing, and yoga. He earned a PhD in comparative religion before becoming an ordained Buddhist monk. He has worked as a professor at Columbia University and the University of California Riverside and has published three academic books. Lama Marut is founder and spiritual director of three spiritual centers and serves as a founding board member and staff teacher at the Yoga Studies Institute.
In addition to the committed coterie of students at his centers, Lama Marut tours extensively around the US and abroad. He teaches at yoga studios, retreat centers, and public venues attended by hundreds of enthusiastic students of all ages, races, and religious backgrounds. Lama Marut appeals to the young, hip, and urban practitioners of yoga; to Western Buddhists of all generations; and to those without formal religious affiliations looking for practical, down-to-earth answers for how to live the good life in complicated times.
