This was an ok introduction to Buddhism. Aided more in my understanding of the difference between various branches than it did my understanding of buddhist principles in general.

I would recommend looking elsewhere for something like that.

I read this in bits and pieces when I need some calmness. Walk your talk. Be present. Take a deep breath.

Basic overview of Buddhism, but it did explain the differences between the different practices such as Zen and Tibetan.

Good to have on your bookshelf as a reference guide if you are interested in practicing or learning more about Buddhism.
