About the Book

An extraordinary spiritual memoir about the will to survive ... one breath at a time Alison Wright covered humanitarian issues with her camera until her own life was nearly cut short during a horrific bus accident with a logging truck on a remote jungle road in Laos. Suffering from excruciating life-threatening injuries, she drew upon her years of meditation practice, concentrating upon each breath, believing it to be her last. Wright's memoir, Learning to Breathe: One Woman's Journey of Spirit and Survival, chronicles this inspirational story of survival and years of rehabilitation, and her ongoing determination to recover and continue traveling the world as an intrepid photojournalist. The book details her ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro as well as her circumambulation of Mount Kailash in Tibet.

As the world's foremost Buddhist leader, he travels extensively, speaking eloquently in favor of ecumenical understanding, kindness and compassion, respect for the environment, and world peace. He is the author of over seventy books and has received a number of awards, honorary doctorates, and other accolades for his work.

Review :
"A profound writer...a true pilgrim...There is muscle and tears here, and the fiercest flame of inspiration." -- "Richard Gere, actor and producer" "Alison's story makes clear that if you have courage, you can achieve what others consider to be impossible." -- "His Holiness the Dalai Lama, from the foreword" "Wright has gone to the ends of the earth, including some mountaintops, in a career that has documented the human wonders of the world, especially resilient children and endangered cultures. In this memoir she turns her lens on herself and her own astonishing story...The author's spiritual insights are fascinating." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Wright's seize-the-day attitude and fierce determination to reach the summit will spur you to hurdle whatever obstacles might lie in your path." -- "Self"
