Laurence Davidson, Author
Welcome to laurencedavidson.comThanks for stopping by my website. I’m Laurence Davidson - writer, traveler, musician, cook, sometimes Buddhist, and author of The Flow: A Hedonist’s Guide to Buddhism, Meditation and Travels in Thailand. This site is where the dust settles from all that wandering. Sometimes I write about culture and consciousness. Sometimes I write about street food, elephants, romance and why us monks love to meditate so much.Either way, I try to keep it honest, curious, and just irreverent enough to keep us both awake. In other words - if you're looking for sanitized writing without the foibles, aches and pains of being deeply human (and humane) you might want to look elswhere.BUT: If you’re looking for my book, you’ll find it everywhere fine books are sold online. There are some links below to save you the hassle of searching your preferred engine and wading through too many results.If you’re just poking around, feel free to read a few reflections, send me a message, or subscribe to my Substack where I post new pieces when inspiration strikes (or when I run out of excuses).

"Laurence Davidson’s The Flow is the kind of travel memoir that sneaks up on you—part soul-searching, part street-food tour, and all heart. It’s raw, honest, and wickedly funny, with prose sharp enough to slice through the usual spiritual fluff. If you’ve ever wanted to get lost in Thailand and find yourself in the process, this book is your roadmap." - A Devoted Reader Who Can't Stop Thinking About Mangoes

"The Flow is a journey. This travel memoir tells tales of food, adventure, love and deep spiritual exploration. A must read for anyone looking to see the world in a new way." - Zippity Now
"This is unlike any travel journal I’ve ever read. At times, it is funny. It’s also reflective and felt very personal.I’m still reading the book and so far I’ve learned a thing or two about meditation, learned that the author knows his food, has good taste in music and has a good sense of humor." - itchitumi
