The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment is still in print. Gibbs Smith has done a small, hardback edition. Added to the original book is a 31-page history of the book and photos of Tad. The history was written by Tad a few years before his death in '97, making it his last work in print. In addition to talking about the book, he also spouts his post-LM theories. Many times he set about to finish an autobiography, but apparently never did. In typical fashion, this brief introduction to the original, thin work - is it.
Many of the new theories in the introduction are at odds with the original ideas in LM. As convinced as he was in 1995 that he finally had it right, his closing lines are: "And now that I have delivered to you all my common sense, I have to ask you: Why are these statements less convincing, less inspiring than the text of The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment?"
