Description

What does it take to be happy? We’ve all asked ourselves this question at some point, but few of us have found the path to lasting fulfillment.David Michie thought he had achieved his life’s goals – the high level job, the expensive city apartment, the luxury car, great holidays – but a small voice was telling him he wasn’t really happy. A chance remark from a naturopath sent him to his local Buddhist centre. There, he began the most important journey of his life.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.Every once in a while you come across an extraordinary book with the power to change your life. Buddhism for Busy People is one such book. ‘Michie demystifies the ancient teachings of Buddha, and writes about them in an easy style.’ – Sunday MailEditorial ReviewsReview”This is an unashamedly personal account, and who can resist a good confession? Poignant but entertaining, informative but not pedantic—these were among the fastest 200+ pages I ever read. If Buddhism is a mirror, then Michie kindly holds it up for the reader. Here’s the essence of Buddhism, and better—why it matters and how to access it.” —Elephant Journal”For those who have been searching for a sincere, accessible introduction to Tibetan Buddhism . . . this is your book.” —Lion’s Roar (formerly Shambhala Sun)Review”This is an ‘unashamedly personal account,’ and who can resist a good confession?
