Few are both.On the afternoon of 13 July 1977, having become the first climbers to reach the summit of the Ogre, Doug Scott and Chris Bonington began their long descent. In the minutes that followed, any feeling of success from their achievement would be overwhelmed by the start of a desperate fight for survival. And things would only get worse.Rising to over 7,000 metres in the centre of the Karakoram, the Ogre – Baintha Brakk – is notorious in mountaineering circles as one of the most difficult mountains to climb.

“This is a truly extraordinary and transformative book. It distills the most profound and fundamental truths about happiness and healing to their essence.”— Dean Ornish, MDProviding an antidote to our never-ending quest for more, mindfulness teacher, successful entrepreneur, and Zen Buddhist Billy Wynne shows that embracing emptiness can declutter the mind and distill our experience of daily life to its essential beauty, clarity, and joy A clear and reasoned antidote to our current epoch of insatiable more-ness, The Empty Path 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 Empty Path 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 ...
