“Revamp” by Winton Higgins serves as an accessible introduction to an influential form of secular Buddhism. While Stephen Batchelor’s books are suggested as excellent starting points, “Revamp” effectively encapsulates his ideas.
The book covers various intersections of Buddhism with modern philosophies like existential phenomenology and psychoanalysis.
It also provides a detailed analysis of Pope Francis’s encyclical on environmental protection, Laudato Si’, criticizes neoliberalism, and presents a compelling case for economic democracy.
In essence, “Revamp” offers a concise overview of contemporary secular Buddhism and its intersections with diverse streams of thought.
