The New Middle Way
by Mel Pine
Kindle $1.99 Rating: 4.3 #ad
“Mel’s personal story is an extraordinary page-turner.” Reader
The New Middle Way offers an accessible, contemporary approach to Buddhism that bridges the gap between traditional, ritual-heavy practice and the modern, often secular reinterpretations of Buddhist teachings. Pine draws on his forty years of personal study and practice, integrating insights from philosophy, science, and his own life experiences—including trauma, loss, and spiritual searching.
The book is both a memoir and a guide, written in a conversational, often humorous style. Pine rejects both dogmatic religiosity and overly clinical secularism, advocating instead for a “new middle way”—a practical, lived spirituality grounded in Buddhist wisdom but open to people of any background, including skeptics and those from other faith traditions.
