I’ve been a listener of Culadasa’s dharma talks for two years now and am very excited about the imminent publication of his book! I pre-ordered the book today and was impressed by the testimonials section on Amazon which I think is very strong. Great job on that!
I thought of a few ways to promote the book, so I thought I would post them here. Feel free to look into or ignore them as you see fit.
One of the best ways to gain exposure these days is through podcasts. I don’t listen to many Buddhist podcasts, but I do have a few suggestions.
Most obvious is the “Buddhist Geeks” podcast. As far as I am aware this is the most popular Buddhist podcast on the internet, and I think they would be happy to have Culadasa on.
Another idea is the “Duncan Trussell Family Hour.” Duncan Trussell is a Buddhist standup comedian, and his podcast has tens of thousands of listeners. He has previously interviewed Sharon Salzberg, John Kornfield and other Buddhist teachers.
Finally, though a long shot, is Sam Harris’s “Waking Up” podcast. Both Sam Harris and Culadasa share a lot in common, being former neuroscientists with interest in meditation. However, it might be difficult to gain his attention.
Besides podcasts, another idea would be a Reddit AMA (ask me anything). These are usually pretty popular. It could possibly be on /r/meditation, /r/buddhism or /r/IamA.
Those are all of my suggestions. If anyone else has ideas on how to promote the book, perhaps you could share them here.
