RICHARD BRANSON: THE INSIDE STORY

Mick. Brown

Literature & Fiction

Michael, Joseph

Nothing typifies the national pride of the Americans as much as their determination to celebrate in song even the most mundane of their towns and cities. In this book, Mick Brown sets out on a musical journey from coast to coast to find out what such places as Chattanooga Choo-Choo, Memphis, Phoenix, El Paso, Nashville and St Louis are really like and how the myth that we are so familiar with differs from the reality. He also explores what they tell us about America today. Mick Brown is a journalist and author of "Richard Branson: a Biography".

In January 2000, two Ambassador taxis twisted their way up the narrow road leading towards Dharamsala in the Himalayan foothills of northern India - the home-in-exile of the Dalai Lama. In one taxi was a fourteen-year-old boy, the 17th Karmapa, one of the most important figures in Tibetan Buddhism. The boy's arrival in Dharamsala was the culmination of an extraordinary escape which had brought him 900 miles across the Himalayas, in conditions of high danger, from the monastery in Tibet where he had lived since he was seven years old. Fascinated by this charismatic young figure, Mick Brown travelled to Dharamsala to meet him, and found himself drawn into the labyrinthine - not to say surreal - web of intrigue surrounding the 17th Karmapa's recognition and young life.

<p>The spiritual quest -- a yearning for a sense of the sacred -- has become a leitmotif of contemporary life. In this highly entertaining book, Mick Brown joins the holy, the lost, the wise &amp; the foolish on the highways &amp; backroads of spiritual tourism. A trail of chance leads Brown to the 19th century occult adventuress Madame Blavatsky, via the philosopher Krishnamurti. In India he encounters the miracle-working Sai Baba, &amp; discusses reincarnation with the Dalai Lama. In Germany he joins the pilgrims who kneel at the feet of Mother Meera. Brown is able to see the sham of religion without difficulty, but he doesn t allow this sham to deflect his search for a genuine mystic source underneath it all.</p>
