In this highly original book Sheldon Kopp, a practising psychologist and teacher, challenges the techniques employed by analysts and psychiatrists in guiding their patients. Dr Kopp argues that there are no hidden meanings in life and that our lives have only the significance which we give them. Thus 'Killing the Buddha on the Road' means destroying the hope that anything outside ourselves can be our master.
