Whatever your nationality, religion, belief system, age or political leanings may be, the tools in this book will help you fulfill your purpose to a greater degree. The book does not define your individual purpose; it simply provides the general overview of how purpose 'thinks'. It then provides eight solid paths to help you flourish and stay focused - even when you face serious challenges in life. A sense of purpose is the birthright of every person. Understanding how it 'works' can help you better sync with your core purpose and achieve deeper happiness in your daily life. Isn't it time to figure this out once and for all?!

The Buddha's teachings center around two basic principles. One is the Four Noble Truths, in which the Buddha diagnoses the problem of suffering and indicates the treatment necessary to remedy this problem. The other is the Noble Eightfold Path, the practical discipline he prescribes to uproot and eliminate the deep underlying causes of suffering. The present book offers, in simple and clear language, a concise yet thorough explanation of the Eightfold Path. Basing himself solidly upon the Buddha's own words, the author examines each factor of the path to determine exactly what it implies in the way of practical training. Finally, in the concluding chapter, he shows how all eight factors of the path function in unison to bring about the realization of the Buddhist goal: enlightenment and liberation.

The sequel to "Mindfulness in Plain English" delivers a simple message: Living a happy life is not a theory or dream, but something eminently practical and achievable through the Buddha's Eightfold Path.
