Publisher's summary

Helping yourself isn’t an easy task.

Some would argue, that it is the hardest thing that a human can do. But every problem has a solution, and this audiobook aims to help you help yourself by teaching you about Buddhism. If you’re looking for that push you need to start going in the right direction, you’ve found it. Life is full of ups and downs, and staying true to your path can be hard, we’ve all been there. It is how you deal with these issues and how you learn from them what defines each of us. This audiobook will give you a helping hand on your way to the path of enlightenment, and much more.

Learn the ins and outs of Buddhism and learn about yourself at the same time.

Perhaps you don’t know anything about Buddhism, maybe you’ve learned something about it from your friends and family, but after you’re finished with this audiobook you will know more than you ever imagined possible about Buddhism. Get ready to embark on a journey that will destroy the common mistakes and misconceptions you may have about Buddha and Buddhism.

Buddhism isn’t just about believing, it’s about practicing what you preach.

During the 45 years of his mission, the Buddha gave countless discourses to the people. These discourses contain very valuable advice and practical guidance which can be applied to our everyday life. In fact, they are meant to be practiced by the followers, not simply to be believed. Let us take, for example, the Buddha's advice: Depend on yourself. This simple advice is undoubtedly true and realistic. It teaches man to be strong, to take responsibility of his own action and to be brave to face its consequences.

So, what are you waiting for? Get started on your journey right now!

Such a good read

Im not an avid reader, nor am I a very spiritual person to begin with, so when I bought this audiobook I was surprised. Its not too heavy to listen to, and I have at least read it twice. It gives you the basics of buddhism which is a very interesting religion. As I said before, Im not an avid reader but this book was pretty good. Would recommend it to anyone looking to listen to something in the car or to relax, as it is very relaxing and still gets you in the flow!

Nice introduction to Buddhism

I'm new to Buddhism, I started meditating a few weeks ago and wanted to learn more about Buddhism as everyone always talks about Buddhism when talking about meditation. I really enjoyed this audiobook, it's simple and gets to the point, so I learned a lot. Great narration too!

Excellent book!

Finished this audiobook in the car over the weekend. It's a great beginners guide to Buddhism. Better than I expected. It explained the origins of Buddhism in a clear way. Will definitely look more into Buddhism. Great narration too.
