Retail Kudos for Blinding Pain, Simple Truth Blinding Pain, Simple Truth: Changing Your Life Through Buddhist Meditation,
by Amherst, MA author Richard S. Ellis, is a self-help book for those who want to heal themselves from pain and suffering
using Buddhist meditation. Anna Jedrziewski of New Age Retailer says, “Not just another book about alternative healing, this is also a very well-written textbook about how and
why the alternative process Ellis chose actually worked. A professor of mathematics and Judaic studies, he does talk about
things like conceptual lenses being a tenet of cognitive science, but always in understandable terms, with examples. He also
makes it clear that the path to overcoming suffering lies in the right brain, not the left brain. The power of the book is
Ellis’ honesty about his struggle with the concept of turning enemies into teachers. An additional selling point is
Ellis’ use of Buddhist teachings to search for new insight into the Hebrew Bible. Consider displaying it with books
by Thich Nhat Hanh, Jack Kornfeld, Rabbi David A. Cooper, and Pema Chödrön.” Available in trade softcover, Kindle and Nook (ePub) editions. Visit the author's website at http://www.richardsellis.com.
