I picked this book up after my yoga teacher told a story from it once. The green cover caught my eye and after class I wandered up to get a peek at the title. At the time, uncertainty was palpable in the air and I was getting weary of the constant warning calls. I read it slowly over time and read it aloud to my husband sometimes. It’s been a balm and a counselor as I continue (as always) to be a better person.

First book on Buddhism and first book of 2018. Such a good start. Reading these teachings and meditating on them is better than all the money getting paid on the new age-y meditation apps. In depth ideas and an amazing introduction to Buddhism. Will certainly reread and buy it in paperback to keep it at hand.

I've been so reticent to take this back to the library that I finally just bought a paperback copy. I'm also the world's worst library employee because... I dog-eared some pages. What delighted me about that, though, is that all the pages I turned down had been turned down previously. Kindred spirits, I guess.
