It's Easier than You Think: The Buddhist Way to Happiness

Written by Sylvia Boorstein

Narrated by Sylvia Boorstein

Sylvia Boorstein— known by friends and colleagues as a "Jewish grandmother bodhisattva"— is highly-skilled in making the universal wisdom of traditional Buddhist teachings available to all. Using delightful and deceptively powerful stories from everyday experiences, Boorstein demystifies spirituality, charts the path to happiness through the Buddha's basic teachings, and presents the means to develop a realistic course toward wisdom and compassion. This wonderfully engaging guide to Buddhism is full of humor, love, and memorable insights.
