The watered down buddhism for westerners approach is filled with platitudes and canned techniques. The whole thing felt like an infomercial. ( ) There are far better "forced spirituality" books out there. Yeah, I get it - this is Buddhism for a new generation of alcoholics and womanizers chomping at the bit to fill the void after Chogyam Trungpa's reign but, seriously, it falls so short. If you want a taste of this sort of modern Buddhism then read anything from Brad Warner or Noah Levine and have fun with it. Both are good authors have led interesting lives, written memoirs and did a good job of applying Dharma principles to modern life. Lodro, on the other hand, did a wonderful job of re-purposing their work, adding a bow-tie and selling a new book. Skip this one. The cover and the title are the best part of this one. Living up to the title, this book presents Buddhism in a way easily understood and relatable to the layperson. Rinzler includes myriad examples from real-life to fully explain the concepts. Though sometimes he seems rather repetitive, tying all problems back to one or two main ideas that may feel a bit of a stretch, he makes a fair argument for these and always presents solutions that are easily implemented. Readers will definitely want this on hand, with bookmarked pages, for easy access next time they have a problem; indeed, they will almost hope for a problem, so excited will they be to try his ideas!
A fine beginning resource for younger adults ready to try the approaches of Buddhism; this is Eastern spirituality for the Harry Potter generation.
