This does not make Bush a closet intellectual. Bill Clinton read widely and voraciously, sampling and skimming ideas like a whale does plankton. Bush is more particular, and when he locks onto a book, he shows his trademark discipline, almost always reading it to the last page. When Sharansky stopped by, Bush sheepishly pointed out in his copy that he was only up to page 211--but said he would finish the remaining 92 pages soon...

At the heart of the Buddha's message is the idea that humans do not possess a steady, unchanging self; instead, we are just empty vessels through which experiences pass. You are not the person who began reading this page. You will not be the person who flips to the next one. Mishra argues that the Buddha used this radical new conception of selfhood as an antidote to social turmoil. You should not be obsessed with satisfying your desires, the Buddha suggested, because the person enjoying this satisfaction will...
