Mayank Chaya spent ten years researching and writing the 14th Dalai Lama’s authorized biography, and while he states at the outset that he does not take sides in the China/Tibet conflict, his wording throughout makes it clear that the author sits firmly on the side of Tibet. The book gives people an intimate look at the popular figure that is Tenzin Gyatso. Chaya covers the history of Buddhism, the biography of the Dalai Lama, the history of the conflict, and popularity of the Dalai Lama in the West. For readers who are curious about the Dalai Lama and his life in exile, or those looking to understand Buddhism, this is a wonderful book. Chaya interviewed and travelled with the Dalai Lama several times over 10 years, and interviewed other famous Buddhists, such as Richard Gere, and Buddhist scholars. (352 pages)

Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
