I enjoyed the two voices reading which made it move smoothly. However the best part came in the authors. To listen to an intellectual discussion that at times respected disagreement was brilliant. Challenged my thoughts. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu.

Essence of the Heart Sutra provides an excellent exploration of the Heart Sutra. Explores depth of each verse and explains in a way both novice and experienced Buddhists, as well as non Buddhists, can understand.

Trauma is the one area that doesn’t get covered enough in meditation teacher classes. This book wonderfully covers so many aspects of trauma and gives teachers guidance on signs and how to handle various situations. As a teacher who focuses on teenagers, this will become my yearly textbook. Thank you.

Breakfast with Buddha takes the classic American road trip novel and marries it with man’s search for meaning. The philosophy is subtle and invites you to question your thoughts as Otto does the same. Well paced and a good balance of the buddy novel with a philosophical dialogue.

I really loved will Wheaton's reading. The story is engaging and pulls you through. If you are a child of the 80s it will be amazing.

While this book stands on its own, hearing Bruce tell you his life story was amazing. He paces the book wonderfully. Perhaps he could have shared a few closer details, but that is nitpicking. Well worth the listen.

This book should be a must read for at least very graduating high school senior. Realistically, we should encourage anyone in a leadership position to read this. Amazingly insightful. He provides each lesson with tremendous stories and a means of applying this in our lives.
