Enlightenment Manual
A wild, hilarious, and deeply profound journey where enlightenment isn't the end but the beginning.
Something crazy happened to me. I'm enlightened. And I wrote a book about it — and it's nothing like your typical spiritual stuff.
Also great as a gift for that one weird friend.

This isn't your grandmother's spiritual book. Unless your grandmother was into cosmic janitors and interdimensional bar fights.
No spiritual bypassing or fluffy platitudes. Just raw, authentic truth from a guy who was mopping floors when enlightenment hit him like a cosmic freight train.
Laugh your way to enlightenment. Spiritual growth doesn't have to be serious all the time — sometimes the universe just wants you to have a good laugh.
Ancient wisdom meets modern life. Get tools you can actually use in your daily existence, not theoretical concepts that sound good but never help.
Flip through a few pages and get a feel for the voice before you buy. Fair warning: it starts weird and only escalates.
Chapter 1 — Oh God, What the Fuck
Something fucking crazy happened to me. I'm enlightened. Imagine you haven't seen me in a while. It's a totally normal Tuesday. You park your shitty car, and we sit down in those comfy-ass chairs by the fire in a quaint little English pub. Through the window, there's a Blade Runner-esque vista — drenched in neon, pouring with acid rain.
Real, verified reviews from readers on Amazon — 4.9/5 stars
“I love that it is written in the second person. The closest comparison I can make to this book is if the prose style, subject matter and madcap energy of Tom Robbins' best work was mixed with lsd, amphetamines and 30 years of learning the lore of the strangest corners of the internet. I can't wait to see what the author comes up with next!”
“The point of this book is that enlightenment isn't religion and it isn't philosophy: it's as straightforward and down-to-earth and normal as mopping the floor. But the book is anything but normal. It's a lot like reading The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and it carries the same frenetic energy that makes reading Douglas Adams such a hoot.”
“The author hooks you with his incredible narration, personality, and wit. The storyline is layered with meaning, but served in a post-humorous way. “Enlightenment Manual” is the perfect name for it. It starts with laughing — JOY!! I recommend this to any person who is searching for some deeper meaning lately.”
“It's like a modern day fear and loathing. Take a ride, lose your mind, find it again, oh no it was just spaghetti! 10/10 wonderful read. Highly recommend if you're looking for a day dream of a book.”
“In a world of forgettable slop, a modern classic has emerged. TIMELESS. JUST IN TIME. BUY IT NOW.”
“It's what needs to be said and with its wildness to boot. This is what I thought life and multiverses is all about. Why so serious when nature and our thoughts aren't? Let whatever you are spring forth like lightning and truth, be HUMAN and enjoy the ride.”
Bodie Satva is an enlightened janitor and storyteller with a knack for blending the profound with the absurd. When not exploring cosmic mysteries, Bodie can be found mopping floors and crafting wild, surreal narratives.
Equal parts humorist and philosopher, Bodie believes that even the most mind-bending journeys should come with a side of laughter. If you can't laugh at the cosmic joke, what's the point of getting it?

Stop taking spirituality so seriously. Start taking yourself less seriously. The cosmic joke is waiting for you to get it.
