Paradise Found

We are a bookstore and more for the Body, Mind & Spirit, located in beautiful Santa Barbara, California.

At Paradise Found our intention is to set a banquet table filled with a scrumptious feast of beauty, truth, and goodness; and then serve the offerings with love in an environment of peace. You are invited to graze through the wisdom of the ages horizontally, snacking on this or that; or vertically, tasting one path in all its flavorful dimensions.

Behind a humble facade, Paradise Found is a veritable treasure trove containing a sampling of the accumulated, ever unfolding, spiritual explorations, discoveries, and wisdom of our human species.

That we hare this with you is better than bliss on a bun!


"There is a paradise in and around you right now, and to be there you don't even have to make a move, not even lifting your eyes from this page. You can open yourself to the diamond like perfection of everything you see and feel. If you don't think it can happen to you that easily, just be loving, moment by moment, and trust that it will come to you."

Thaddeus Golas, The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment
