Goenka, this path to self-awareness is extraordinary in its simplicity, its lack of dogma and, above all, its results.

Goenka–and prepared under his direct guidance–The Art of Living shows how this technique can be used to solve problems, develop unused potential, and lead a peaceful, productive life. It includes stories by S. N. Goenka, as well as answers to students’ questions, that convey a vivid sense of his teaching.S. N. Goenka’s Vipassana courses have attracted thousands of people of every background.

Although a layman, his teaching has won the approval of senior Buddhist monks in Burma, India, and Sri Lanka, a number of whom have taken courses under his guidance. Despite his magnetism, he has no wish to be a “guru” –instead he teaches self-responsibility. This is the first systematic study of his teachings to appear in English.
