The story of how a corporate communications consultant discovered Buddhism is woven through this bestselling, simply written, inspiring introduction to meditation practice and Buddhist philosophy.

What does it take to be happy? We've all asked ourselves this question at some point, but few of us have found the path to lasting fulfillment.

David Michie thought he had achieved his life's goals - the high level job, the expensive city apartment, the luxury car, great holidays - but a small voice was telling him he wasn't really happy. A chance remark from a naturopath sent him to his local Buddhist centre. There, he began the most important journey of his life.

In this simple, beautifully written book, David Michie opens the door to the core teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. With wry, self-deprecating humour, he shows us how he began to incorporate Buddhist practices into his daily life. He explains how he came to understand the difference between the temporary pleasures of ordinary life, and the profound sense of well-being and heart-felt serenity that comes from connecting with our inner nature.

Every once in a while you come across an extraordinary book with the power to change your life. Buddhism for Busy People is one such book.

'Michie demystifies the ancient teachings of Buddha, and writes about them in an easy style.' - Sunday Mail

Good book for a first look at Buddhism

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2017

Verified Purchase

The title intrigued me so I thought it was worth a read, anything that might help me get through life with more understanding of a bigger picture would be worth the time. It's certainly interesting to read it from someone who is very normal and down to earth, not the type of person you would expect to be a Buddhist. I really enjoyed it and it gave me lots to think about, well written and not 'preaching to' on any way. It's definitely got me interested in taking things further. Thank you David!

As an introduction to the subject I found this book generally useful however I was also a little distracted by some of the contradictions (where I found it difficult to tie up his actions / feelings in certain situation versus the Buddhist interpretation placed upon that scenario). I also had the feeling that, in a few places, the author was using the narrative stories to settle old scores (e.g. in relation to people who rejected his previous manuscripts, & his "good Karma" in getting them published anyway).
Overall, enjoyable but flawed.

Only on chapter 5. This is an awesome book so far and I've enjoyed the story of first getting to the glebe st Gompa and entering a world of personal happiness. The lessons in this are many and it had ignited a deeper want within me to understand buddhism. Cant recommend enough! 🙂
