Good for beginners and long term practitioners

I am a long term lojong practitioner, and usually recommend Pema Chodron for beginners, and steer beginners away from the older texts. This book is one I will recommedn for both. Excellent explanations, uplifting and enlightening, very clear and concise. Even if you are not Buddhist, i recommend this book -- sweet!

Love it!

This is an amazing book! I bought it for my mom and she can not stop listening to it! We all love it!

Now, in this book, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso shares the immeasurably rich insight of this ancient wisdom with all those seeking lasting happiness and greater meaning in their modern lives.
