Buddha on Board: Laughs and Lessons with Author Roland Merullo

Bounce Back Stronger with Donna Ferris

“Your heart is beating right now. My heart is beating. Air is going into us and out, and we just completely take that for granted, most of us, most of the time. And it really should not be taken for granted. It's really incredible.”

In this episode of Bounce Back Stronger, host Donna Ferris interviews award-winning author Roland Merullo. Known for novels like The Talk Funny Girl and “quirky spiritual” road-trip books like Breakfast with Buddha, Merullo shares insights into his writing process, spiritual journey, and the importance of gratitude and meditation. Tune in for an engaging conversation that explores why we should eat and stay in out-of-the-way places, how to write with humor and the joy he has found in working with his daughter.
