  CELEBRATE MY NEW BOOK RELEASE! SELF-COMPASSION: TRANSFORM SELF (ATTĀ) INTO NON-SELF (ANATTĀ) (JAPANESE EDITION) Released on October 5th, 2020 Dear Friends, I’m excited to announce that my eighth Japanese book “Self-Compassion: Transform Self (attā) into Non-Self (anattā),” (Japanese Edition) was published on Amazon today, October 5th, 2020. An impeccable Japanese translation was provided by the esteemed author, Yoshiko. This book presents self-compassion within a conventional self (attā) and how one would then be able to transform that compassionate self into non-self (anattā). In addition, I have examined that non-self isn't a sudden perspective, yet rather a skillful development of a compassionate self. I am very delighted and honored to add this latest addition to the Japanese readership. May you be well and happy!
