Format:Paperback
I disagree with the above review. You don't have to be close to someone who has died for this book to be of benefit. I was initially put off by the title, thinking it morbid, but what this book taught me was that we will all die sooner or later, so we better start dealing with it. Once I started to realise this it was a tremendously freeing feeling, which allowed me to live more in the present moment and make the most of my live. This book has had a huge impact on my life and if you have never considered your impermeance then it will help you enormously.

Format:Paperback
Of all the books I have ever read, this is the only one that changed my life. I read this book twice and continue to refer to it because I am now taking courses at the Rigpa (Buddhist) Center. Anyone who is curious about Buddhist teachings will find this book very valuable. For people who are more serious about finding meaning in life and lasting happiness, it is extremely helpful.

Format:Paperback
I found this book insightful and well explained. I had been interested in Buddhist philosophy for a while and was looking for a good introductory text. I found it in this book, which explains the fundamentals of Meditation and the Bardo teachings in language that is accessible to all.
There is also further commentary on the deeper implications of compassion in daily life and reference to further teachings that might be useful.
This book has changed a great deal about the way I lead my life. An excellent read.

a few too many errors . . .
This is a book that was hyped by Harper Collins. That is not a criticism - simply a statement of fact. In that way the book is like `Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'. Read more

Recommend to anyone who is interested in Buddism and life philosophy
The book requires quiet reflection but I believe anyone who is willing to reflect will find something inspiring inside. No-nonsense.
