Be Love Now: The Path of the Heart

Readers can establish their baby boomer credentials by identifying the author of this book by his previous, Western name: Dr. Richard Alpert. The transformation of this Harvard psychology professor into Baba Ram Dass is part of counterculture history, but the popularity of his 1970 Remember, Be Here Now (9780517543054) continues, forty years and two million copies later. Be Love Now is the third volume of his spiritual trilogy; Still Here (9781573228718) being its lynchpin installment. Ram Dass' heart-felt blend of autobiographical stories, anecdotes, and precepts imbue this book with an unforced wisdom.
