About this listen

In the same engaging style that has endeared him to listeners of Mindfulness in Plain English, Bhante Gunaratana delves deeply into each step of the Buddha's most profound teaching on bringing an end to suffering: the noble eightfold path. With generous and specific advice, Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness offers skillful ways to handle anger, to find right livelihood, and to cultivate loving-friendliness in relationships with parents, children, and partners, as well as tools to overcome all the mental hindrances that prevent happiness. Whether you are an experienced meditator or someone who's only just beginning, this gentle and down-to-earth guide will help you bring the heart of the Buddha's teachings into every aspect of your life.

Having read many “similar” books on philosophy, this one was especially well put together, and therefore ultimately very stimulating. It’s probably not for the most learned reader, who would gain less. But for beginner and mid level listener I would recommended strongly.

Highly recommend this clear and compassionate book, written in relatable language with a touch of engaging humour and with practical, transformative advice for modern everyday life. The format may appear simple but the truths within are profound and life changing. Read or listen to it, apply the instructions and experience the difference in yourself and your life.
