Random Linkage: Late September Pumpkin Spice Edition

It’s been a little bit since I’ve posted one of these random linkage round-ups of things that caught my attention. Said attention has been quite busy and poor little Full Contact Enlightenment gets such little contact.

Well here we go.

• I’m currently reading Lodro Rinzler’s latest book “The Buddha Walks Into the Office” and no joke, it was a big help after what was a very trying week. I’m currently really appreciating how certain books are entering my life at the time when I need them most. Check out this snappy little video for Lodro’s book and do check it out if you are feeling the weight of the work on your shoulders.

• Here’s the story of one man’s year of a digital detox. It’s tempting… very tempting. We’ve all been there right?
• “Off the Cushion”- Danny Fisher’s new podcast has launched. I’m really looking forward to checking it out. Have you heard it yet?
• I’m terribly disappointed to hear that the Buddhist Geeks Conference is going on hiatus, if continuing at all. I always “viewed from afar” via the power of technology (how geeky huh!) and found the conferences to be so nourishing and enriching. Sad emotions here folks.
• The mighty Sumeru Books blog recently posted a link to an interview with Canadian media personality George Stroumboulopoulos. There’s a pronounced Buddhisty-flavour to many of his answers.
• I think I want one of these Spire.io’s. As a “not very mindful desk jockey,” I sure could use one.
• Kayla from It’s Not in the Cards has a great video featuring a few Buddhist and Spirituality books that she recommends. There are quite a few good one’s that made the cut.
