Wonderful!!

I have listened to a lot of Spiritual Books and I particularly love Ekhart Tolle and Ram Dass.
What is so amazing and different about this book is that we not only get the incredible teachings straight from the mouth of the Dalai Lama, but we also hear the thoughts of the author who is a western Psychologist, which allows us to fully understand and relate to the Buddhist teachings. This is done with a lot of humility and honesty which I really appreciated.
I will be listening again to assimilate all the teachings which are priceless.
Thank you! 🙏

Starting to get interested in Buddhism

Not sure what I'm looking for. I enjoyed much of this book but hat to listen at a faster pace, maybe cause I'm not calm enough :-)

Psychology meets Buddhism

im neither a psychologist nor a Buddhist but I am a human being and that is the only requirement for potentially gaining benefit from this book. I feel like I've taken a peek into the merits of Buddhism and I think it warrants a longer look and some introspection
