Publisher's Synopsis
This thoughtful book explores for the first time the cultural and personal reasons for Siddhartha Gautama's renunciation of his important secular life for the Spiritual path from an Existential perspective. This book outlines how Siddhatha's crisis is cogently understood as an Existential Crisis which he solved by becoming Awakened. The consequences of that resolution not only answered his personal psychological crisis but gave the world a paradigm shift about the cause of human suffering and how to end it.
