The Dharma of The Princess Bride: What the Coolest Fairy Tale of Our Time Can Teach Us About Buddhism and Relationships

Is there any such thing as a ‘relationship expert’? Why do people become friends? What brings us together in the first place? What perils await us on the high seas of dating? In romantic partnership, is boredom a positive or a negative development? Most trouble of all, how can we be enlightened around our own family? Ethan Nichtern helps us understand and navigate our most important relations from a Buddhist perspective. The indelible characters from the film The Princess Bride, and the memorable challenges they face, become departure points for a spiritual journey that’s serious and playful, nostalgic and cool, and which effortlessly charms its reader into evolving on the path of enlightenment.
