Why I Am a Buddhist
No-Nonsense Buddhism with Red Meat and Whiskey
by Stephen T. Asma, PhD

All I can say on first finding this 179 page read is "finally I get it", and this cool little guy helped me to get there. I have always loved the depth and wisdom connected with the Buddhist way, but what seemed to happen is when I would tell myself I was gonna get really serious about it and start studying, I would get so bogged down in the structure. It was like opening the door to this massive and great temple of wisdom and finally had someone you don't have to do anything just open up and believe.

The author in his simple laid back style took areas in my life I could understand and through examples helped me say how I could fit the wisdom of the Buddha into them. This read was so easy and practical that I found myself just smiling and nodding. I am so grateful that someone could show me how to apply it to my everyday life. I would recommend this illuminating guide to those looking for a way to bring Buddhism into their lives. Thanks so much Stephen for bringing it through my front door and happily placing it on my dinner table.

Love & Light,
