Doubleday Australian Book and Music Club - March 2005 (Australia)
Not simply a 'how to' book, this is actually the real-life story of a corporate communications consultant whose life was changed by Buddhism. Author David Michie thought he had made it in life. He had all of the external trappings - a successful career, expensive city apartment and a luxury car - yet happiness eluded him until a chance remark sent him to his local Buddhist centre where he began the most important journey of his life. In sharing his story with you, Michie reveals with self-deprecating humour how he incorporated Buddhist practices into his life, discovering a profound sense of well being and serenity. Simply and beautifully written, and strikingly packaged, Buddhism for Busy People is an essential read for stressed executives seeking peace and harmony in a demanding world. It explains the principles of Buddhism in easy-to-understand language and is perfect for those approaching Buddhism for the first time. So, if you have been searching unsuccessfully for happiness, dip into this book. It may just change your life.
