“It’s hard to know when you’re having a breakdown in New York City. The symptoms of living here, succeeding here, and losing your mind here are almost identical.”

So begins Matousek’s 1996 breakout memoir about leaving a fast-track publishing life (working for pop artist Andy Warhol at Interview Magazine) and hitting the dharma trail in search of a meaningful life and spiritual wisdom.

Join Mark Matousek and Joan Borysenko, international bestselling authors & speakers in the field of spirituality and healing, for an intimate discussion on the themes of Mark Matousek’s re-released edition to his landmark memoir, Sex Death Enlightenment: A True Story. This Free Online Event is co-hosted by Hollyhock and Banyen Books.

“Matousek’s book Sex Death Enlightenment is an extraordinarily articulate chronicle of how the sickness of our time can spawn spiritual awakening and compassion.”  -Ram Dass
