From hard-core spiritual seeker: authentic spiritual adventure with passions and vulnerabilities, and a simple and unconventional guidebook for those who are tired of seeking enlightenment.
This is the most real, raw, wild, truthful, funny book on awakening and enlightenment I have ever read.  It could easily be called 'welcome to being human'.  Elena brings the spiritual search into the realm of being human in a way that no one else could. I deeply and highly recommend this easy to read, easy to love, easy to understand jewel to anyone seeking themselves.
--Shanti Zimmermann, Emotional Clarity Mentor

Buddha On A Bull is some very real shit. It’s a radically clear, concise, and easily accessible book about the nature of what many have come to call “spirituality,” and “enlightenment”. 
--Chris Grosso, hard rock musician and author 
A delightful guide full of important pointers for those who wish to explore the journey of awakening. The book is easy to read and the stories are told with sincere honesty, eliminating the many fantasies surrounding spirituality.
--John Tan “Thusness”, Buddhist teacher
For confused beings like ourselves who have the habit of shopping from shelf to shelf for Dharma snacks, Elena has written the perfect handbook. If you've only been gorging on empty calories, here is the balanced nutritional supplement you need. And it answers many of the modern problems never even thought of in Traditional Eastern meditation texts! It's practical, and gives advice on avoiding difficulties, which are all of our own making. And it's simple, full of easy effective ways to make sure that once we get unstuck, we can relax, free.
--John Hoag, Practitioner of Dzogchen and translator for Tibetan Teachers
Here is a being who is humble enough to follow a teaching, a teacher or a modality that feels right and, at the same time, has the keen eye to see through spiritual bullshit and reject confusing, useless and false concepts and practices. She also displays the rare gift of courage – the courage it often takes to leave a group or a forum with detachment and without the kind of false loyalty that so often keeps a seeker enslaved and addicted to a path and its community.
--Nurit Oren with Gabor Harsanyi, Spiritual teachers

 In this book, Elena takes you on a journey that reveals her real life experiences of the search for enlightenment, and shares invaluable, practical guidance resulting from the magic and the misery of it all. The writing is simplicity itself, in her unique enjoyable voice she speaks to her readers as an equal, without the rarified air of a teacher, daring them to let go of everything they think they know about seeking, about enlightenment, and about who they really are. Elena takes all of the many experiences one can have on this journey, distills them down to their essence in eminently readable form, offered like a wrapped gift. Accessible and beautifully devoid of non-dual BS.
--Cynthia M. Clingan, MSEd, PCC, Somatic Psychotherapist
By sharing her authentic and courageous journey of self-discovery and awakening, Elena models what it’s like to follow one's truth. [She] displays the courage, insight, and understanding gained from her life journey, and she generously shares her experiences and guideposts with the reader.
