A light-hearted collection of anecdotes. I would have given it four stars if the author hadn't used 'Dalai' to refer to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. It's what the Chinese Government calls him to show its disrespect

Not as great as her previous books, I felt it jumped a bit between stories and I kept losing focus.
Still love her, but this one wasn't as great!

Some of these stories resonated, a few have me thinking things over and reconsidering my perspective... I enjoy the practical ways Buddhism is used in her everyday life. As others have noted is a collection of prev published stories

A nice read but basically a collection of previously published material. Not as good as Buddhism for the Umbelievably Busy
