About this listen
Interested in Buddhism? This book will satisfy your curiosity!
Do you enjoy learning about religions? Are you curious about Buddhism? Are you wondering if you can integrate Buddhist practices like mindfulness into your daily routine? Then, you’ve found the right book for you!
Buddhism is the fourth largest religion in the world. It originated in India, but has gained worldwide popularity. If you’d like to learn more about Buddhism, this book is for you! Aptly named Buddhism for Beginners, it covers everything you need to know about this world religion.
Here are some reasons why Buddhism is popular:
- The Buddhist ideal of a mindful, minimalist lifestyle feels very refreshing in comparison to mainstream Western culture with its focus on riches, consumption, and competition
- Buddhist practices, such as meditation, have been scientifically studied and proven to boost mental health
- Buddhism is more of a philosophy and a lifestyle than an organized religion, making it very flexible and adaptable to your unique spiritual needs
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- The basic ideas of Buddhism
- Ways how karma really functions (You’ll be surprised!)
- The true meaning of mindfulness and ways to introduce mindfulness practices into your life
- Things Buddhism can teach you about stress management and living a peaceful life
- Ways to practice Buddhism (if you want to)
This book does not try to convert you to Buddhism. It will teach you the basics of this religion and the deeper meaning behind popular buzzwords like karma, mindfulness, and meditation, but it won’t put any pressure on you to give up your current faith.
Learning more about Buddhism will deepen your respect for the world’s religions, teach you some interesting philosophical ideas, and boost your stress management skills.

The Dalai Lama, at his most compassionate and outspoken, here elaborates and deepens his vision for the nonreligious way. Transcending the mere "religion wars", he outlines a system of secular ethics that gives tolerant respect to religion, those that ground ethics in a belief in God and an afterlife, and those that understand good actions as leading to better states of existence in future lives. And yet, with the highest level of spiritual and intellectual authority, the Dalai Lama makes a claim for what he calls a third way.

Emotional manipulation is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's own emotions and those of others in a positive way. Today, we see that being "smart in the books" and having a high IQ does not guarantee a successful, happy, and fulfilled life. Many people around the world are very academically brilliant but are unable to deal with people and succeed at work or in their relationships. When it comes to happiness and success in life, emotional manipulation helps you build stronger relationships, succeed at work, and achieve your personal and professional goals.

Whenever some of us hear of of narcissism or narcissist, we envision vain, preening braggarts who can’t stop talking about themselves. But most of the time, we’ve got it wrong. Many narcissists aren’t driven by looks, fame, or money. Some may even be shy or soft-spoken. The startling truth is we’ve been distracted by an empty stereotype that blinds us to far more reliable signs of danger, and an entire generation is suffering because of it.

Most of all, Buddhism is simply focused on living a meaningful life that is marked by kindness toward yourself and others. It’s about the process of figuring out what actually works in order to achieve these things.

Despite our best-laid plans, life can often be difficult, disappointing, and stressful. Consequently, when things don’t go right, we are often left in a state of emotional chaos, dealing with feelings like anger, anxiety, frustration, and doubt, which can cloud our perspective and negatively affect the way we live our lives.
