Summary
If you want to find inner peace and wisdom, you don't need to move to an ashram or monastery. Your life, just as it is, is the perfect place to be. Jack Kornfield, one of America's most respected Buddhist teachers, shares this and other key lessons gleaned from more than 40 years of committed study and practice. Topics include:
- How to cultivate loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity
- Conscious parenting
- Spirituality and sexuality
- The way of forgiveness
- Committing ourselves to healing the suffering in the world
Bringing Home the Dharma includes simple meditation practices for awakening our buddha nature - our wise and understanding heart - amid the ups and downs of our ordinary daily lives.

Worth it
I enjoyed the balance between emphasising actual practice, and the discussion of such things as the stages of meditation. The book includes 3 chapters at the end describing how to undertake 3 different forms of meditation (only a few minutes each) which was great.
I did feel like there is an over-emphasis on mindfulness meditation and case studies though, I would have liked to see (well, heard) more discussion on the Eightfold Path and in particular 'right livelihood'; since it seems such a significant part of how to actually start implementing the Dharma. Whereas there is a fair bit of time dedicated to 'sexual misconduct' and research Kornfield has undertaken regarding physical relationships between Dharma instructors and their students. This was albeit quite interesting, but I thought a bit outside the scope of the works and wasn't very relevant to me personally. That's why I've rated it 4* overall + story, that said.... it's still 100 times better than The Power of Now by Tolle.

Worthy
Struggled with the narration. In spite of the rich complexities of the subject and the seemingly endless achievements of the author, the tone and rhythm of the voice is unfortunately the main thing I will take away from this book. Hopefully other things may rise to the surface later but I was relieved to finally finish this and might just have slept through some of it.

Bringing Home the Dharma
While the content is in literal terms wonderful the narration totally undermines the book.
It i unfortunate that either Kornfield or some one able to communicate with his level of sensibility was unable to narrate this book.

A helpful,profound overview and pragmatic guide to practising Buddhism in the west. Lots of helpful comparisons to different strands and approaches of the noble truths and eightfold path.
