At first blush, the book is about modernizing the eightfold path of Buddhism for the world of today. The book centers on the ideas and teachings of Ryuho Okawa, a former Japanese Wall Street trader turned evangelist. He discusses the aspects of his religion, the Happy Science movement.

Certain aspects of the book reminded me of The Simpsons episode with that cult leader who fleeces the town out of their money to build a spaceship.

I did not finish the book, but the last few pages offer CDs you can buy to ward off Coronavirus. Thanks for reading my review, and see you next time.

Really great advice on living life. How loving yourself and finding happiness internally impacts how much love and happiness you give outwardly.
