Book Reviews of Buddhism For Dummies
Book Review: Just the Basics
Summary: 4 Stars
The title says it all. The book gives you a good overview of Buddhism and goes into a bit of detail where needed. lots of notes, bullet points and asides highlight this book (just like you'd see in other books from the Dummies series). This is for someone who knows nothing about Buddhism and would be a nice gift to someone who is curious or open minded.Book Review: Finally, Real Tools For A Meaningful Life
Summary: 5 Stars
All religions promote rules for living a responsible life. Landaw extracts the tools to accomplish the rules. His decades of friendship and studies with the 14th Dalai Lama give him deepest insights into serious Buddhist practice for Westerners. How to elminate anger, how to develop real compassion, how to find bliss. Landaw is credible.Book Review: dull reading
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought the writing was dull and mostly from a historial informationial point of view. The information was boring, and I did not retain much at all. At best the book could be used for refrence only. Much like reading a dictionary. If your desperate for reading, put it in your bathroom and take a peek every now and again.Book Review: It's all here!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really didn't know anything about Buddhism before buying this book. It was very informative and explained everything I wanted to know. If you are like me and you're wondering what it's all about, I recommend this book. Buddhsm is not what you think, and you'll probably be finding yourself impressed. An excellent read.Book Review: Just the facts...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are not looking for a deep spiritual experience and are looking for facts and history, then this is the book for you. I use it as a reference guide, and when I am confused about an idea. I will always have a purpose for it, and would recommend this book to anyone new to buddhism.
