Wow, this book was not for me. It took me over a month to finish this 207 page book which makes it pretty clear it was hard for me to finish. When I read the info for it on Amazon.com I thought it would just be a light read about Buddhism, kind of a into to what it was all about or something.
Though it was described as not preachy, I felt it was. The book is definitely more for someone who is interested in becoming Buddhist or is Buddhist, IMO. I find different religions interesting, but as one who has no intention of meditating or changing my spiritual beliefs (I'm agnostic), I had a really hard time getting into this book.
If you are into learning about religions or are interested in Buddhism you might enjoy this book, but if you are looking for a light intro or thought this was going to be humorous due to the title, grab something else off the bookshelf.
Not familiar with Buddhism as a whole, I've used a couple of their basic principles in my life since I was a child, without knowing they were considered Buddhist.
ReplyDeleteRaised without religion- I've always been a spiritual person interested in learning about different beliefs...without being pounced on. This looks like a book I'd grab if I saw it on the library shelf. The first bit of preachiness though...I'd be done.
Sorry it was such a bummer to read.
Hopefully you've found something you love for the next book!
