This book is a tour de force. An epic quest to find meaning and healing following a creative life that spans many eras. I was swept away on adventures to the Himalayan peaks that became feats of incredible endurance. I was taken to places that took my breath away and left me in tears and profound awe at the depth of beauty and heartbreak. Philippe’s writing is a balance between gentle observation and piercing honesty as he shines his insight beyond the surface. An incredibly uplifting and inspiring story about the resilience of the human spirit searching for belonging. A masterclass in how to trust your instincts and follow your hearts calling for freedom. Full of juicy life bursting from the pages, infused with passion, connection, vulnerability and strength. Wow I wasn’t expecting the positive impact on me that has awoken my passion and longing to step into my own life adventure. His courage and authenticity to face and speak about the hard truths of systemic abuse of children at the Osho ashram is a healing panacea for the collective and helps me feel safer in this world.

Toss a Coin is a disarming book that sneaks up on the reader. Through a handful of ordinary moments (a book left by a swimming pool, a train ride to Mumbai, a few conversations in a modest flat) Philippe Nirav captures the lived impact of Advaita Vedanta when it is no longer philosophy but perception. His encounters with Ramesh Balsekar are rendered with honesty, humor, and vulnerability, revealing how the illusion of control dissolves through seeing. This is not a book about becoming enlightened; it is about relaxing into what already is. Gentle, precise, and deeply human, Toss a Coin stays with you long after the last page.
