“[Wes “Scoop” Nisker] delivers zen zingers with Borscht Belt timing.”—The New York Times
Coming at a desperate time for the planet, this new Cody’s Book draws from religion, evolution, cosmology, and Buddhism, and calls for a new spirituality—one that fits our modern, scientific worldview. Wes “Scoop” Nisker shows why life is beautiful (“Be Here Wow!”) and invites all sentient beings to celebrate. Here is a seriously funny manifesto for Nisker fans and anyone looking for crazy wisdom to help cope with today’s world.
Journalist, author, and Buddhist meditation teacher, Wes “Scoop” Nisker has a number of earlier publications, including The Essential Crazy Wisdom (2001) and Big Bang, the Buddha, and the Baby Boom (2003). Nisker is well-known in California as an irreverent radio personality.

A Revolutionary Delight
By Jack Kornfield
CW Saves the World Again is fabulous. Wisdom, wit, deep ecological truths, and a cosmic vision that puts your problems and life into perspective. Funny, deep and easy to read…just the book for a gift or a dharmic cosmic visionary pick me up.

Beautiful Writing, Deeply Insightful, FUN
By Dr.
This book brings together an array of topics – from evolution to astrophysics to religion and spirituality to meditation practice to environmentalism. And it manages to do it in a way that seems perfectly simple and sensical. I found Mr. Nisker’s writing so clean and clear, so human and funny, and so smart. As a psychologist, author, meditator and just as a person, I’ve thought about all of these topics quite a bit. But he managed to bring freshness and insight to them so gracefully. This book stands out to me from other really good books as one I’ll not only go back to again and again, but one I’ll buy for my friends. I’ll tell them – this clarified my thinking AND it was fun.
