Summary: Makes Buddhism accessible
Review: If you're just starting out, this book is a wonderfully simple, accessible, straightforward way to ease yourself into Buddhism without all the mysticism favored in other texts. Laced with humor, this book makes Buddhism seem more do-able: full of practical tidbits for daily use in real life, such as coping with people you can't stand, remaining calm when politicians tick you off, or dealing with that last slice of pizza you really shouldn't have but want all the same. This is the most user-friendly book on Buddhism for absolute beginners that I've seen, and the writing style is humorous, personal, and honest. I've read his earlier book, "What Would Buddha Do?", and I like this book, its content, and its format even better.
