Treasured by Buddhists of all traditions, The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara) is a guide to cultivating the mind of enlightenment and to generating the qualities of love, compassion, generosity, and patience. This text has been studied, practiced, and expounded upon in an unbroken tradition for centuries, first in India, and later in Tibet. Presented in the form of a personal meditation in verse, it outlines the path of the Bodhisattvas - those who renounce the peace of individual enlightenment and vow to work for the liberation of all beings.

A Pleasant Dharma Deep Dive

I am a Buddha nerd so keep that in mind. I am fascinated by the theory of Buddhism and Eastern philosophy in general so... If that sounds like you then I highly recommend this well narrated journey through Buddhist principals. For sure I do not now "get it" from one listen but I do find the talks easy to follow and also food for the spirit so this will be something I hang on to and refer back to always.

A Relaxation Tool

No story just OM. If you desire some peace, some healing time, well, this works for me. This is great for meditation if you need some help quieting a busy mind.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich offers an unparalleled and thrillingly told examination of how Adolf Hitler nearly succeeded in conquering the world. With millions of copies in print around the globe, it has attained the status of a vital and enduring classic.

The narration is as epic as Shirer's book.

That didn't really happen did it? Yeah it did. And here is how, one page at a time. The narrator was just perfectly cadenced in my opinion. Shirer does not very well hide his disdain for the master minds of so much atrocity but neither does he let us think that the common man and woman, the soldier, the villager toiling just a stones throw from a 'camp' is somehow different from you or me. That would be a nice thought for the listener but he does not allow it. To hear about this march to crazy town at such a granular level makes it all so real. Yes, this really happened and I am hard pressed to see how it could not happen again somewhere else.

In More than Happiness, Antonia Macaro delves into both philosophies, focusing on the elements that fit with our sceptical age and those which have the potential to make the biggest impact on how we live. From accepting that some things are beyond our control, to monitoring our emotions for unhealthy reactions, to shedding attachment to material things, there is much, she argues, that we can take and much that we’d do better to leave behind.

Could not endure narrator to the end.
Revisado: 03-29-21
I know a smidge about Buddhism and nothing of Stoicism so the subject was interesting enough for me. Unfortunately the female narrator, who I enjoyed listening to initially, decided to speak any quotes from the male historical figures in a deep "and then the Papa Bear said..." voice that I could not believe she was doing. It sounds condescending regardless of her intention. I tried to ignore it but found it so off putting I gave up half way through the book. Maybe you won't even notice. I doubt that though.
