The essays included are:

Buddhism in Daily Life
Self-Deliverance
How to Meditate without Meditating
Axolotls

 
Excerpt:
 
To be a “Buddhist” without making any attempt to put the principles into practice is nonsensical. Buddhism is essentially something to do rather than something to believe. The attainment of the higher wisdom will, for most people at least, be a long task which may not be fully achieved in this lifetime. But those who are sincerely treading the path will stand out. They will have something about them which subtly marks them out. They will be mindful, compassionate, considerate to others. While they will not rush round offering good advice to all and sundry unasked, they may well be the kind of people whom those in need of advice and help will instinctively turn to. They will be good citizens of the world, for the very reason that they are not too much caught up in its meretricious attractions.

    Simone Weil (1909–1943) stands as one of the most profound and unique thinkers of the 20th century, whose philosophy blends the intellectual rigor of traditional philosophy with the depth of mysticism, spirituality, and social activism. Despite her relatively short life, Weil’s work has had a lasting impact on diverse fields, including philosophy, theology, politics, and social theory. Her exploration of the concepts of gravity and grace forms the core of her intellectual legacy, offering a powerful lens through which to understand human suffering, freedom, and the potential for spiritual transformation. 
At the heart of Weil’s philosophy is the concept of gravity, a metaphor she uses to describe the pull of the material world, which she believes leads to the oppression and suffering of individuals. Gravity represents the forces of self-centeredness, alienation, and the weight of human desires, which trap individuals in their own limitations and separation from the divine. It is the force that binds human beings to their own egos, making them blind to the higher truths of existence. 
In stark contrast, grace in Weil’s thought is the force that can liberate individuals from the constraints of gravity. Unlike gravity, grace is not something humans can control or earn through effort. It is a divine gift that transcends human will and brings about a spiritual awakening. Grace enables individuals to experience a higher level of freedom—freedom from the self and from the oppression of the material world. For Weil, grace is central to human existence, as it offers the possibility of redemption and spiritual transformation.

    Oliver's well-researched biography of Mansa Musa reads like an exotic tale of gold, glory, and adventure. During his long reign as Mali's emperor, Mansa Musa led his empire into its Golden Age; presided over a spectacular, 60,000 person, 9,000 mile pilgrimage; founded a university in Timbuktu; and helped revolutionize architecture across the Sudan. Oliver does not allow Musa's story to get bogged down in detail by seamlessly weaving a lot of history into his narrative and by supplying curious readers with an extensive description. 
Many of the African ancestors of today's African-Americans came from West Africa. From 700 -- 1600 A. D., one after the other, three great, black, commercial empires dominated West Africa. They were powerful, prosperous, complex, stable -- and large. At its height, the Empire of Mali was the size of all of Western Europe.
