Buddhist Boot Camp

Today I was reminded that I have neglected my blog over the past few weeks and it's about time I remedied that.  So I want to share with you a book that I've just finished reading that has really given me much to think about.

Buddhist Boot Camp! Don't let the title mislead you - it's not about converting to Buddhism and there's certainly no dictating of what you should and shouldn't do.

I first become aware of Buddhist Boot Camp when I read some inspiring quotes on Facebook, so I "liked" the page. Then the articles posted started to resonate with me and I bought the book.

Written by Timber Hawkeye (what a lovely name), I found the book totally inspiring. It's a simple book where he shares his own experiences and points out how we can all make changes that will lead to a more peaceful and happier life. Yet the whole book seemed, to me, to be total common sense and I found myself nodding and thinking 'of course'. It's written in such a lovely style that's easy to follow and understand. Chapters are short, no more than two pages, which makes the book great to pick up and put down when you have a moment or two. It's not a long book, I read it in a day, but it's a book I shall always grateful I found and will remember and recommend.

Timber Hawkeye, you have inspired me with your Buddhist Boot Camp - Namaste.
