Great instruction & very interesting this book!

The book is a great breakdown is a simplistic and easy to listen and understand blueprint for learning about Buddhism. Being new to Buddhism myself, this book lays the groundwork for how to begin living a more grounded and Buddhist. I very much enjoyed this course and the performance by Darren Schilling. He does have a distinct almost lyrical voice, but I felt it added to the teaching. I'm going through a tough time and would be feeling depressed but when I started to listen to this recording I'd automatically feel better and more at peace.

The Concepts of Buddhism

Thompson does a great job of highlighting the basics of Buddhism. I was thoroughly impressed that the author was able to introduce everyday actions and ideas to help improve your principal way of life. He places emphasis that Buddhism is not a religion, but a life choice. Originally, I downloaded a sample of the book. I didn't get that much out of the sample. After completing the sample there was some information about a podcast by the author. I decided to give it a listen while working around the house.

Renewed my interest.

I think I've finally discovered the elusive decoder ring. Over the years, I've listen a lot of Buddhist scriptures, but I'm just now starting to practice. They can be completely daunting, but this compiles the essential concepts to get you started. It helped me grasp concepts that had previously eluded me or frightened me away. I now view other texts with a higher degree of comprehension. Thank you Lee for this book. It was a first step in a transition that completely changed my life.

Accessible intro to buddhism!

This is a good introduction for people with little or no understanding. I like how many questions were answered plainly instead of using vague metaphors. very informative no matter how advanced or wherever you are on your path to enlightenment, this book is perfect..to the point and briefly but completely explains most questions a beginner may have. I really liked this for learning about buddhism. very informative and in a way easy to understand for people who don't know anything about it.

Full of good information

Just wanted to say there where a lot parts highlighted that I would like to go back to contemplate on and put into practice. In short this book about be present to and mindful in every moment of our life. We can get to know truth direct experience it is beyond being able to put into words, ideas, and concepts.

Best purchase ever!

I'm completely enamored with this book. Because of our daily busy lives, I couldn't put this book down because it is beautifully written and really opens the mind and soul to various facets of existence that we somewhere subconsciously think about but don't give it a thought consciously. The author is well-informed and objective about Buddhist teachings, but he also leaves it up to the listener to interpret them from their own perspective, as we all have different life experiences. You will not be disappointed if you give it a try. Have fun listening!

A work with lots of experience

In a sea of books, Instagram posts, and constant chatter Lee Thompson is message is clear and direct and a grounding way to start the day. It's easy to flip to a page. Each day is a clear teaching. No fuss. No frills. Simple and direct. My days are so busy and this is exactly what my soul needs. The meditations are also easy to follow, clear, and impactful. This is a very good book about Buddhism. This book explanation is a simple language and easy to listen. Specially, thanks to author for this great book. This is astounding and interesting book.
