In Case You Ever Wondered . . .

like I did, what Buddhism is about--here is an in depth but relatively short overview. It will take up less than three hours of your time. Doesn't cost very much, either.

You might learn, as I did, that Buddha is not there to be worshiped but instead, emulated. This, and many other things you might or might not have wondered about. That alone was a big surprise for me. This is a great little audiobook for the curious. It is a painless way to gain a little more knowledge. If you have any interest and curiosity at all about Buddhism, here is a great way to start. (From the humble opinion of a non-religious person.)

Excellent Book

I liked that it was easy to understand. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in Buddhism. It is a great book and the narration kept it interesting.

Great Information

If you are looking for a good beginner's guide on Buddhism, I recommend this book. I found it had the right level of detail to explain without over whelming me. Last thing I need is to try and drink from a fire hose. Don't be intimidated. Here is a good place to start.

Clear, concise, and...

very inspiring! So far, this is the best book I've read on Buddhism. Thank you for making it relatable to modern western life.

Good Overview for Beginners

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I sure would. The nice thing about this book is that it touches on the general principles of Buddhism..all facets. I also like that it gave examples and fables helping to understand hard to understand concepts.

What other book might you compare Buddhism: A Beginners Guide Book for True Self Discovery and Living a Balanced and Peaceful Life to and why?

Comparitive to Buddhist Boot Camp, this was much more profound.

What about Dan Gallagher’s performance did you like?

I enjoyed his voice and he did well narrating the book

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No but there were quite a few "a-ha" moments

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book and look forward to focusing on the moon...not the finger..

Wonderful narration of a well scripted book

I thought the narrator did a wonderful job, and the writing done explained things in a inclusive yet simple to comprehend manner.

I recommend anyone looking to understand a little more of the Buddhist perspective, backgrounds or just interested in learning a bit of how to take a step forward in this direction yourself. It’s a great listen.
Enjoy.

The book is elegantly balanced as both a historically informed introduction to the subject and as to how it remains relevant in our confusing and confused times.

being dyslexic this audiobook has been fantastic being able to listen to a subject that you always wanted to read

Discovery

As a new and struggling member of the Nichren dishonin sect I found myself struggling with all the superficial trappings. Which in consequence had me questioning the basic philosophy .
My need and desire was to find the way. To become the master of my own mind and to understand and control my life, and the effects on others as an advisor and due to the influence I seem to have on others.
Because people listen to me and respect many of my ideas and copy them. I became concerned that I was doing right. This book has been a great help thank you very much. Monah
