I can't recommend this book enough
This short book is for anyone who wants to know what Buddhism is and for those who want to truly understand it's teachings. I've listened to a lot of books on Buddhism but this book is one of the best and deepest teachings I've come across so far. Have already listened to it twice and can see myself listening many more times to try and grasp it's profound teaching. Thank you.

I couldn’t put this book down
As a psychotherapist I found this book fascinating how the Buddhism theory links to the Humanistic approach to the here and now. A great read will definitely be listening to this again and maybe again after that. The narrator was very easy to listen to, great job.

Is this Buddhism in a nutshell?
A good introduction, simple concepts that are repeated frequently (appreciate the repetition as it aids understanding).

I return to this book again and again
Wonderfully written and brilliantly and astutely narrated, this is the distilled essence of what Buddhism is and how you can step onto the path and wake up.
