5.0 out of 5 stars Finding the path to a Buddhist way of life and happiness, 19 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This book is a must for anyone interested in studying the Buddhist way of finding happiness for oneself as well as others.

By giving clear explanations and example anyone can practice the way to happiness. It is not just for serious practioners of Buddhism but also for the layperson trying to understand and re-train the mind to think happiness with a total caring mind. You can use this book to train your mind to find the happiness within yourself that also benefits everyone with whom one comes in contact. The results where noticeable not just to myself, finding the inner calm, but to others. This book is an excellent companion to life. Problems, Stress, Anger - not anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing! If you need coping tools, this is it., 9 May 2001
By A Customer
This book has become my 'bible'. I refer to it over and over again. In simple and easy to read language it takes you through the steps on how to find happiness through caring, compassion and love. It takes you away from self-centredness to introspection. The author has the ability to translate such profound teachings into a daily and practical method for coping with the very human frustrations we all experience. Not only does he give us easy access to these teachings, he also guides us through practical applications of the teachings. It has changed my life, my outlook on life, my view of the world and people. It is simply wonderful! Buy it, read it, you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eight Steps to Happiness, 13 Dec 2005
I have read this book so many times I have lost count and I will doubtless read it again many times in the future. Every one of us, without exception, wants to be happy. The key to finding inner peace and happiness is to look in the right place. The problem is that we normally look for happiness in the wrong places such as material possessions. This book shows us the right place to look.
