Reddit mentions of Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung?: Inspiring Stories for Welcoming Life's Difficulties

I read The Eden Express - a very interesting book written by Kurt Vonnegut's son who started a hippie commune. The book follows Mark who develops paranoid schizophrenia and is institutionalized. All along the way you feel like you're going crazy with Mark, he does a very good job blending his madness at the time with the world around him. I'm not sure how many autobiographical books their are by once crazy hippies, but this is probably the best one.


Who ordered this truckload of dung? is written by a buddhist monk and details some very zen ways of looking at life's problems. There is a lot of light hearted wisdom in this book and it is a short read, I really enjoyed it all. A small grain of insight I highlighted was "thinking about something is often the hardest part of doing it."



Really excited to start digging into the annihilation series as I enjoyed the movie a lot.
