In this simple, beautifully written book, David Michie opens the door to the core teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. With wry, self-deprecating humour, he shows us how he began to incorporate Buddhist practices into his daily life. He explains how he came to understand the difference between the temporary pleasures of ordinary life, and the profound sense of well-being and heart-felt serenity that comes from connecting with our inner nature.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 18
Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal training method for this generation's short attention span. The chapters in this audiobook can be listened in any order, and are simple and easy to understand. Each story, inspirational quote, and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You don't need to be a Buddhist to find the Buddha's teachings motivational. As the Dalai Lama says, "Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are."

Story5 out of 5 stars 4
Some 25 centuries after the Buddha started teaching, his message continues to inspire people across the globe, including those living in predominantly secular societies. What does it mean to adapt religious practices to secular contexts? Stephen Batchelor, an internationally known author and teacher, is committed to a secularized version of the Buddha's teachings. The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent, ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age.

Simply Beautiful
A perfect explanation of Secular Buddhism. It's simple, easy to follow and, of course, practical.
I like Noah's no-nonsense reading through the book which made it easy to take notes while listening.

Great glimpse into secular buddhism
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more about secular buddhism. The reading by the author was pleasant, as I always prefer to hear the author read their own words, but it wasn't the very best audio recording of a book I've ever heard. The timing could have been improved a bit. Overall: great book and would recommend it!

Quick overview of Secular Buddhism
I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick reminder (or introduction) of some of the key teachings of Buddhism from a secular lens.
I wish he would have gone deeper into certain topics, but I understand that wasn't the point of this book.

Highly recommended
Content was excellently put and seamless. The editing needs a little more sound spacing between sentences, subheadings, and chapters sometimes.

Great content, mediocre performance
Mr. Rasheta's writing was concise and very thoughtful, but the performance of the audiobook itself was lacking.
The delivery was very monotone, and each sentence seemed to run into the next, without any clear demarcation.
Overall, though - it was a good, quick audiobook for anyone interested in the secular flavor of Buddhism.

Valuable messages to live by
Although this is a short book, the author so eloquently and simply explains the valuable teachings of Buddhism as a way of living your life in a nut shell. He provides many relatable examples through his personal stories and parables as he touches on the most fundamental principles. If you put these teachings into practice and not just read this book as a voyeur, it will change your life. This book can be thought of as a small pocket manual to live life by as you learn let go of your preconceived notions of reality. What sets this book apart from all others is the continuous teachings that can be found through the author's podcast and website on Secular Buddhism.

Just the right thing at the right time...
This is a great wonderful reminder of the basics of Buddhism that highlights differences between eastern and western ways to understand common words.
I have listened to this a number of times and will listen to it many more times.
I am thankful that the audio version of this book is available and that I found it.

Excellent introduction to Buddhism
The only negative thing about the book is the chapters ran into one another a slight pause between chapters would be great.
if you are looking for a understanding of Buddhism this is a wonderful place to start.
