Wes "Scoop" Nisker is an award-winning broadcast journalist and commentator, a renowned Buddhist meditation teacher, a popular author and a captivating performer/comedian. In You are Not Your Fault and Other Revelations, Wes draws on his diverse experiences delivering a collection that brims with the insight, humor and wisdom he is famous for. Compiling for the first time, Wes’ best known essays as well as a selection of recent and never before published work, Wes takes readers on both a cultural journey (a tour through the sixties, through the modern environmental movement, the surge of Buddhism to the West) and a more personal one, exploring the motivation behind humanity’s search for spiritual enlightenment. Surprisingly thoughtful and funny at the same time, Nisker offers good medicine here.

An entire generation of listeners recognizes Wes’ voice from listening to KSAN San Francisco in the 1960s and 1970s, and they will find the same wise, irreverent, thoughtful, funny voice in these pages.

Wes Nisker is among the teachers at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California. Among his other books are Buddha’s Nature and The Essential Crazy Wisdom. He also has a DVD of his standup cosmic reflection/comedy called Crazy Wisdom Saves the World Again.
