Episode: Ethan Nichtern, 'The Dharma of The Princess Bride'
The book used moments from the movie "The Princess Bride" to illustrate the author's personal life and discuss having compassion when figuring out relationships. It explored Buddhist themes as they pertained to relationships in the film, presenting an optimistic deconstruction of the typical fairy tale narrative.
The book is called The Dharma of the Princess Bride and he talks about how the Princess Bride, which is a cult favorite movie which I love and I think your hard press defines somebody who doesn't love if they haven't seen it.
I don't claim that it is a Buddhist story, but I do think it has some Buddhist elements, and it's really more about trying to learn about relationships over 30 years because of the 30th anniversary is September 25th and and just sort of loving a piece of pop culture over that time.
I think that part came from my publisher my first book one city was a small publisher wisdom and they had recently published a book called The Dharma of Star Wars.
I think the princess bride um I don't claim that it is a Buddhist story but I do think it has some Buddhist elements and it's really more about trying to learn about relationships over 30 years because of the 30th anniversary is September 25th and and just sort of loving a piece of pop culture over that time.
The basic premise of the book is the princess bride comes in this kind of this playful cultural narrative that's meant a lot to me and meant a lot to a lot of other people but it's really about trying to navigate relationships from this space of compassionately not knowing.

This upcoming book used moments from the movie 'The Princess Bride' to illustrate the author's personal life and to discuss having compassion when figuring out relationships.
The book is called The Dharma of the Princess Bride and he talks about how the Princess Bride, which is a cult favorite movie which I love and I think your hard press defines somebody who doesn't love if they haven't seen it.
He talks about the Buddhist themes and especially as it pertains to relationships in this movie, in his book about the movie.
I wanted to write a book about relationships that also had a playful kind of pop culture and personal experience or memoir edge.
I don't claim that it is a Buddhist story, but I do think it has some Buddhist elements and it's really more about trying to learn about relationships over 30 years because of the 30th anniversary is September 25th and and just sort of loving a piece of pop culture over that time.
but it's really about trying to navigate relationships from this space of compassionately not knowing.
