Great to hear it in Richard’s own voice. There are so many great adventures in this one book that only covers part of his life (from the start of Student mag to taking on BA).

The key message is that he makes decisions fast and usually based on whether he thinks it will be fun.

If you could sum up Why Buddhism Is True in three words, what would they be?

Insightful
Applicable
Authentic (author)

What was one of the most memorable moments of Why Buddhism Is True?

Explanations of 'not self' and 'emptiness'. Hard concepts explained well (my head didn't explode)

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The author is authentic in exposing his flaws. He is easy to relate to and, while not a master of the practices described, is able to articulate the benefits of the pursuit

Any additional comments?

The content got harder to engage with as it went along - but this probably reflects the depth of the concepts when you are relatively new to it.

You should listen to this book just for the narration alone. It's wonderful. The story itself is so real, and so funny and sad. I loved every minute.

Damien's story is heart breaking but written with reflective humour and hope. It is wonderful to hear him narrate his own story. I loved this book.

I'm so glad I got this as an audio book. Paul's enthusiasm for what they have achieved through Lean is infectious. Great extra material in videos. You should listen to this book!
