So many fascinating tales

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.

Best narrator I've heard

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.

Story
It's 12 October 1984. An IRA bomb blows apart the Grand Hotel in Brighton. Miraculously, Margaret Thatcher survives. In small-town Scotland, eight-year-old Damian Barr watches in horror as his mum rips her wedding ring off and packs their bags. He knows he, too, must survive. Damian, his sister and his Catholic mum move in with her sinister new boyfriend while his Protestant dad shacks up with the glamorous Mary the Canary. Divided by sectarian suspicion, the community is held together by the sprawling Ravenscraig Steelworks.

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.
