Buddhish A Guide to the 20 Most Important Buddhist Ideas for the Curious and Skeptical

Do you wonder what exactly mindfulness is and how one distinguishes between pain and suffering, but find yourself rolling your eyes every time you try to read a book about Buddhism? Well, if so, relax. This is no ordinary introduction to Buddhism; there are none of the saccharine platitudes, high-minded moralizing, or dense pontification that you may have come to expect. Buddhish is readable introduction for complete newcomers who are curious about Buddhism but want to avoid all the unnecessary jargon and dry academic writing. Dr. C Pierce Salguero breaks down the 20 central principles of Buddhism to provide a comprehensive overview of the faith. By the end of the book, readers will have toured the Buddhist world and learned about how Buddhist ideas have been understood in China, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Tibet, and the West. Buddhish will provide bite-sized Buddhism that can be incorporated into daily mindfulness practices to help readers find a little more calm in their lives.
