Show Notes
In this episode I talk with Mick Brown, an award-winning journalist and author of several books, including The Spiritual Tourist, The Dance of 17 Lives, and his new magnum opus – The Nirvana Express: How the Search for Enlightenment Went West.
In this conversation, we explore Mick’s extraordinary encounters with gurus, mystics, tricksters and multifarious seekers on the highways and backroads of spiritual tourism; his investigations into the mysteries of Tibet’s reincarnating lamas; and his rare insights into the colourful cast of sages, writers, rock stars, fraudsters and psychedelic emissaries that brought Indian spirituality to the West.
