Great book to help improve your happiness

Loved it I want to listen to it over and over. I think I can improve myself and become happier using his teachings.

enlightening

really great and inspiring read. i would definitely recommend this book to anyone seeking the truth.

Best book on Buddhism I have read so far.

This work methodically covers the most important aspects of Buddhism as a practice. The 8 Fold Path is HOW to reduce and even end suffering. This is the Buddha's whole point of what it is that you need to do.

It's fine if you don't agree with some of the more extreme ideas in the book. You don't have to. Anything you choose to take from it will help.

Great study guide

Great for someone looking into ways too focus the mind and avoid distractions, anxiety, stress, etc.

Magnificent explanation of the path

Bhante Gunaratana is one of the world’s great Dhamma teachers. His explanations of each step are concise and based upon his long years as a practitioner and teacher. His intellectual honesty and ability to help the listener to focus are magnificent. I am most grateful to Bhante. The narration was excellent.

very well written and perfectly narrated

very well written in a plain, easy to understand manner. Narration was excellent, assumed it was the author he was so good.

A book for every home!…

Very kindly put together techniques for just about anyone who feels there’s more to this life than lifestyle and fun events to look for to seek pure happiness….!

Highly Recommended

This is a fantastic piece of work, written in layman terms, performed excellently and easy to understand. If you have any questions about the number of lists that the Buddha has provided us for learning, this is an excellent beginning, middle, and end book to add to your library

Very helpful guide

Not everyone would appreciate this book, but if you’re seeking, and if you’re open to the Buddhist ideas, this book has a lot to offer. Practical, very insightful, lots of wisdom.

Great despite simplistic morality reasoning

At first, I was thinking this book would be too shallow given the first morality-centric chapters. Those chapters don't hold many profound insights on morality. It does get better though when the author focuses more on the concentration and wisdom aspects of the eight-fold path to happiness.
