    It's about time!
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2012*

I see there are some folks that really disapprove of Brad Warner's way of presenting Buddhism.  Well all I can say to that is that not all us have that same background, and can appreciate the same ways of communication on any subject. That goes especially for spirituality.  Even the Dalai Lama said in The Art of Happiness that "there are over 7 billion people in this world, maybe there should be 7 billion religions."I believe that a demeanor like Warner's for the face of Buddhism is one that is long overdue in our society.  His attitude towards the subject is one that resonates with the many people of today that tend to be turned off by most religious and spiritual practices.  Most people I know that ask me about Buddhism get the impression a bunch of flower loving hippies doing yoga.  There are many different flavors of Buddhism, but a lot of the cultural fluff that surrounds it covers up its very simple message.  This book reveals that message from the perspective of a man that was once very pessimistic towards the idea of most spiritual practices and their dogmas.  The first chapter describes exactly how I felt about many subjects including Buddhism.  This passage from the book could sum it all up:"It's a damned shame that so much so-called Buddhist writing seems intended to function like spiritual elevator music. Mix up some lullaby-style writing and a few well-worn Buddhist clichés--or quotes from Yoda ("Let the Force flow through you!") and David Carradine's character in Kung Fu ("Patience, Grasshopper!"), if you don't know any real Buddhist soundbites--wrap it all up in a serene cover with a ripply-water picture and--Hey! Yer makin' Buddhism!"This was a very funny and entertaining read!  If you do read this book, and like its angle, I also recommend Buddhism Plain and Simple by Steve Hagan.

    The real deal
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2013*

What do you get when a punk rocker who makes monster movies becomes a Zen priest?  You get a book about Zen that is in no way "nice."  In the author's words:  "This is not the same old crap you've seen in a thousand books you don't want to read.  This is Zen for people who don't give a rat's ass about Zen."  Warner tells his story and his understanding of Zen in refreshingly direct language that is truly his own, thereby encouraging the reader to take authority for his/her own understanding of life.  As he says: "That's the easiest way to tell the real teachers from the phonies:  a phony will take your authority and a real teacher will give it back."  He explains clearly why I have felt uneasy about Ken Wilber's writings, however brilliant they may be:  Wilber mistook some mystical experience for enlightenment and either had no teacher to tell him the truth, or he missed it.  Whereas, "You can never meaningfully compare one moment with any other.  You can never meaningfully compare your life with anyone else's."  Here's a summary of Warner's advice about living:  Let go of your committed pessimism.  Have the courage to discover who you truly are.  Then point out what's wrong in the world and make it better.  "Your ordinary, boring, pointless life is incredibly, amazingly, astoundingly, relentlessly, mercilessly joyful.  . . . Your life is yours alone, and to miss your life is the most tragic thing that could happen.  So sit down, shut up, and take a look at it."

    The book that started my journey into Buddhism.
  

*by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2013*

There are a lot of books about Buddhism. I believe different books will click with different people and for me Brad Warner's approach was the eye opener. Brad Warner is relentlessly honest, direct, opinionated, irreverent, and most of all wise. This book is an easy read. Brad is a great writer and combining a personal autobiographical book with the lessons which have been transmitted for more than 2000 was very effective to help me understand and appreciate Buddhism for the first time.It also saved my life.Several years ago years of suffering from chronic major depression had at a point led me down a very dark path. I had fallen into a pit of existential suffering about what the purpose of life was, how the universe could be so horrible, and what point was there to continue to endure more life until the point I met my natural release. It would be so much easier to just take a shortcut courtesy of a 30 story building.When I reached my personal rock bottom a seemingly random series of events led to me reading this book and from that point on everything has been different.Buddhism has led me to an understanding of the inherent perfection in everything, the undeniable beauty in emptiness, and the purpose of life which is no so obviously-in-my-face that I wonder how I could have ever not seen it. I am forever grateful to the suffering I went through to lead me to the contentment, joy, and love which the path has shown me. This book and Brad Warner was my first step down this path which has changed my life immeasurably.
