Providing an antidote to our never-ending quest for more, mindfulness teacher, successful entrepreneur, and Zen Buddhist Billy Wynne shows that embracing emptiness can declutter the mind and distill our experience of daily life to its essential beauty, clarity and joy.
“This is a truly extraordinary and transformative book. It distills the most profound and fundamental truths about happiness and healing to its essence—and is beautifully written as well.”
Dean Ornish, M.D., author of #1 New York Times bestsellers including UnDo It!
“Wynne gently calls into focus the richness of this moment in his accessible and actionable guidebook for living fully.”
Sharon Salzberg, author of Real happiness and Real Life
"The Empty Path is a profound commentary on where true peace lies. A counterintuitive approach in a world that is forever caught up in the next thing, this book allows us to calm our minds and open our eyes to the perfection in this moment. I felt both less alone and more alive while reading this book. Thank you, Billy."
Annie Grace, bestselling author of This Naked Mind

"Billy joins Sheri and Matt to talk about the teachings and lived experiences featured in his new book, The Empty Path. Now alcohol-free, Billy is the perfect ambassador of this relatable and compassionate message about gaining so much by letting go."
"We might have thought just a little more would make us happy. But that's the problem. 'More' is an illusory concept. Only in accepting the emptiness of all things will we receive what we desire--the extravagant fulness of this present moment."
