Book Summary
An End To Suffering asks whether the Buddha remains relevant in a fast-moving, material world. In this thoughtful travelogue and philosophical examination, Pankaj Mishra moves from the poverty-stricken landscapes of South Asia to the opulence of Europe and America to uncover the enduring core of Buddhist thought. Written for readers curious about philosophy, religion, and modern life, this book offers a contemplative, hopeful exploration of how ancient wisdom can illuminate present-day questions about pain, happiness, and human resilience. Now available in paperback.
In An End To Suffering, Mishra blends reportage, history, and personal reflection as he traces Buddhist ideas across places and cultures. The book reads like a careful conversation—part travelogue, part philosophy—with chapters that move between landscapes, social realities, and timeless questions about desire, suffering, and meaning.
Readers will find the experience engaging: the prose is lucid, the transitions seamless, and the argument gently grows with each stop on the journey. An End To Suffering presents key concepts—suffering, craving, impermanence, compassion, and mindfulness—in clear, accessible ways, weaving anecdotes with thoughtful analysis so the ideas feel practical as well as profound.
After finishing An End To Suffering, readers gain a refreshed perspective on life's hardships and a practical framework for thinking about happiness. It leaves you with a sense of calm, curiosity, and a question-driven mindset that lingers long after the last page, reminding you that ancient wisdom can inform the way we live today.
