Inspiring [Posted on 2008-05-05]
I listened to The Joy of Living as an audiobook, and have re-listened to it several times. The links that the authors made with neuroscience and to everyday life put the ancient Buddhist wisdom of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche in the context our modern world in a way that I found immensely understandable, profound, and, yes, joyful! I am deeply grateful to Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche and Eric Swanson for providing these great teachings, and sharing their insights as they relate to current science and life. The skillful narration also contributes to the integrity of the work. - It felt as though the authors were speaking directly through Jason Scott Campbell. I know I will listen to it many more times.

Excellent Book [Posted on 2008-05-05]
This is one of two books I highly recommend for anyone interested in basic Buddhist principles communicated in a Western way. His kindness and sense of humor come through the pages. I don't know of a single person who has not found this book an pleasant reminder of why we are here in the first place.

Excellent introduction to meditation [Posted on 2008-08-23]
This is a great book for anyone interested in learning about meditation or beginning meditating. I've meditated off and on for a while, but never consistently. This book gives a lot of helpful advice on how to get around these and other obstacles to practice. One of the best points he makes is to not make it a chore, and that small periods of practice frequently is a good way to start.

The writing is very clear and easily accessible to those unfamiliar with meditation in general also. It's a good blend of basic science and eastern philosophy.

i am a healthcare provider. For me this book offered a link between the spiritual and physical worlds. it demystifies meditation making it more "accessible" to everyone.

Excellent Guide to Meditation [Posted on 2008-11-28]
While it is not clear in the title or sub-title this book ended up being one of the best books on meditation I have ever read (and I have read many).

It is very simple and easy to understand.
