I like them both. I listed the contents of "Living Wisdom Vedanta in the West" so that the people who might have the older version can see the contents and so that those who don't can also see what it contains. The Living Wisdom Vedanta in the West promote the ideas of Vedanta in a positive manner. No religion bashing like a atheist. It is no surprise that I like Vedanta Philosophy for I bought the "Living Wisdom book". The book makes a good introduction to Vedanta Philosophy as such it makes a good book to give out to people who do not know Vedanta.
