Praise for Brad Warner and Sit Down and Shut Up: "Warner's
intimate, funny, conversational style goes a long way toward
imparting his many sensible messages. Deserving of a wide
audience."
-- Library Journal "Buddhism has long enjoyed baffling 'crazy
wisdom' teachers and paradoxical koans, and Warner's punk
iconoclasm fits in nicely."
-- Publishers Weekly "[Brad Warner] seems about as honest as they
come, and he shares his personal history and opinions freely."
-- Booklist "I can already smell the beautiful smell of newly
soiled meditation mats all across this great land of ours."
-- Razorcake "Nuggets of wisdom rarely seen in an author this
plugged in to youth-counter-modern-hipster-culture."
-- Buddhistgeeks.com "There are plenty of 'Buddhist/Spiritual'
authors on the market who will gladly sell you a pat on the back.
Brad Warner is not one of those."
-- D. Randall Blythe, lead screamer, Lamb of God
