Jack Kornfield demonstrates that it is possible to be a good Buddhist in the Western world. His writing is clear, not occult; easy rather than pretentious; a genuine pleasure that leaves me up-lifted without feeling either patronised or like I have just eaten a saccharine-rich pap. And he has a great sense of humour! The audio book, read by the author, is a treat.”

“I liked the book, but I think Kornfield gets a little to hung up trying to incorporate Freudian style psychology with Buddhism.”
