Forty-Three Days of Fire:
A Journey Into The Hidden Universe
An unflinching first-hand account of a forty-three day intensive retreat in the ancient monastery tradition of Myanmar. In this remarkable chronicle, Quinn Path documents what happens when a Western mind trained in Buddhist scholarship is pushed to the outermost edges of concentrated meditation practice.
The result is a book unlike any other in contemporary contemplative literature — neither romanticised nor sensationalised, but rigorously honest about the extraordinary capabilities of consciousness that emerge under conditions of sustained, disciplined attention.

Between Sets:
A Mindfulness Practice for Surfers
Between the waves — in the pause, the stillness, the waiting — lies one of the most natural entry points into meditative awareness available to a modern person. Between Sets takes the ancient teachings of mindfulness and reframes them through the lived language of surf culture.
Written for surfers who have already tasted something wordless in the water, this book offers a structured path inward — using the ocean itself as both metaphor and teacher. No prior experience with meditation required.

Translated into Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, and German, this book has resonated across cultures as a practical and profound guide to meeting emotional difficulty with something larger than reactivity.
