In the spirit of The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen comes a series of contemplative essays and poetry that restore our connection to each other and ourselves. In Anatta: Heart of Wisdom, award-winning author, alpinist, and Buddhist practitioner Michael Schauch brings us to places where stories reign: among bones nestled in crystal-lined sky caves, in villages atop the high Himalaya, and within the warmth of a backyard campfire. Our stories are vehicles for our memories, individual identities, and shared cultures...but can we connect to an older story, one that transcends time and the barriers between us? Anatta—the Buddhist idea of “non-self,” or non-attachment to permanence—is a necessary antidote to our uncertain times. Schauch demonstrates that by immersing ourselves in the wonders of nature, we can ignite an ancient connection and deep loving-kindness. He shows that the way to resolve conflicts with others is to first resolve conflicts within ourselves—an essential practice in an age of increasing war and polarization. By weaving tales of the metaphysical with Buddhist ways of seeing, and with refreshing bursts of humour and grace, Schauch reconnects us to the beauty of everyday life—the stories that connect us across time and place, and the primordial way back to the heart.“Schauch writes about liberation—not through escape but through intimacy with life as it is. By attuning to the wisdom of the heart, we begin to live from a place of connection rather than control.” —Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Life“Anatta is a beautiful presentation of what the Buddhists call shunyata— an ultimate Nonduality. You’ll learn the meaning of nonduality, and why every single mystical tradition the world over maintains that ultimate Reality is nondual. I highly recommend you buy this book and begin this most important quest for yourself.”—Ken Wilber, author of Finding Radical Wholeness©2026 Michael Schauch (P)2026 Michael Schauch Spirituality Heartfelt
