Great straightforward listen!!
I've read many texts and listened to many books on meditation and Buddhism and this one was one of the easiest to understand and very clear in it's message. A great first time listen for someone just starting a meditation practice or learning what Buddhism is all about.

Best book on Buddhism I have read so far.
This work methodically covers the most important aspects of Buddhism as a practice. The 8 Fold Path is HOW to reduce and even end suffering. This is the Buddha's whole point of what it is that you need to do.
It's fine if you don't agree with some of the more extreme ideas in the book. You don't have to. Anything you choose to take from it will help.

DON’T MISS THIS BOOK
As I am studying Buddhism, I ran into this book on my research. Glad I did. Weather or not you are interested in Buddhism, every chapter is a “life” lesson. I will definitely listen again to many chapters. My thanks to all involved, JK

Magnificent explanation of the path
Bhante Gunaratana is one of the world’s great Dhamma teachers. His explanations of each step are concise and based upon his long years as a practitioner and teacher. His intellectual honesty and ability to help the listener to focus are magnificent. I am most grateful to Bhante. The narration was excellent.

not about happiness
this is a systematic book about Buddhism and how to practice Buddhism. it's about mindfulness and how to get to it step by step. it's a user's guide to Buddhism but not to happiness necessarily and it lacks concept.
