INSTINCT FOR FREEDOM

A Maverick's Guide to Spiritual Revolution

In Instinct for Freedom, spiritual teacher, human rights activist, and monologist Alan Clements details his thirty-year-long “search for truth and freedom,” which took him from the sacredness of monastic silence deep into the dark heart of war zones. A compelling blend of autobiography and provocative spiritual inquiry, Instinct for Freedom is a revolutionary book about the power of authenticity — the liberating art of being true to one's heart.
