You’re no idiot, of course. You know Eastern philosophy encompasses many countries and concepts, but when it comes to breaking down the basics—to discuss with others or for your own enlightenment—you can’t tell Confucius from Krishna.

Don’t nix nirvana just yet! The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Eastern Philosophy is an extensive, reader-friendly guide that maps out the terrain along the various paths of knowledge. In this Complete Idiot’s Guide®, you get:

   • A wealth of information about the history and core beliefs of each philosophical system.
   • Outlines and in-depth explorations of each school of thought.
   • Reading and study guides to enhance your understanding.
   • The “big picture” of Eastern philosophy and how its components relate to Western ideas.
