About this product
Product Information
Iconic newscaster and Buddhist teacher chronicles the 1960s and '70s in India, the Bay Area, and beyond Join "Scoop" Nisker on a wild ride from West to East and back in his quest for true self and enlightenment. Combining the best elements of memoir and social commentary, Nisker shares his own story to illuminate the spiritual hunger of modern America. His journey begins in Nebraska as the only young man in his small town to be Bar Mitzvah'ed, through the heyday of the Beats and hippies in the Bay Area from his vantage point as a high-profile newscaster, the birth of the environmental movement, and the social and spiritual blossoming of the West. This is a personal, guided tour of the outer and inner movements that joined together into today's mindfulness movement, written by one of the leaders of both.

Reviews
"Nisker is the consummate student/teacher, soaking up the world...and trying to make it a better place. Long may he chant." -- Ben Fong-Torres "Wry, hip, fast, breezy....a tender triumph" -- Publishers Weekly "Mixes engaging autobiography with philosophical musings...Nisker really shines, as he provides wonderful details." -- Kirkus "A joyful, thoughtful romp of remarkable breadth: science, politics, psychology, pop culture and Buddhist dharma woven into a wise, funny, and truly wonderful journey." -- Jack Kornfield "A joy to read, Nisker maintains a tightrope walker's balance between entertainment and information, between irreverence and spirituality, between sit-down meditator and stand-up comic, between personal experience and countercultural history." -- Paul Krassner "Both entertaining and edifying, Nisker carries us along to bigger and better lives of noble-hearted wisdom and compassion." -- Lama Surya Das "Vintage Nisker--at times deeply philosophical, often very funny, always personal and yet broadly relevant because, as we used to say, the personal is political." -- Fritjof Capra "Nisker joins the grand tradition of social historians casting a knowing eye at the absurdities of history, ... witty, insightful, soulful." -- Daniel Goleman "[Nisker] delivers zen zingers with Borscht Belt timing."-- The New York Times "Here is a worthy companion: a Mark Twain for our times, whose appetite for reality takes him into ashrams, political actions, and evolutionary science. As Wes shares his adventures, he enlarges our own, laces them with laughter, lets wisdom shine through." -- Joanna Macy "Nisker's book takes us on a wonderfully engaging journey. It is the best chronicle yet written about the spiritual adventures of our generation." -- Joseph Goldstein "This is Wes at his best: smart, irreverent, endearing, laugh-out-loud funny, and--in these times when we so badly need it--hopeful." -- Sylvia Boorstein " The Big Bang, the Buddha, and the Baby Boom is an entertaining memoir that might just illuminate a path to a more enlightened future." -- Foreword Reviews, "Nisker is the consummate student/teacher, soaking up the world...and trying to make it a better place.
