Summary
The observations and insights of the Buddha are practical and eminently down to earth, dealing exclusively with awareness in the here and now.
Buddhism Plain and Simple offers listeners these fundamental teachings, stripped of cultural trappings that have accumulated around Buddhism over the past 25 centuries. The newcomer will be inspired by the clear, simple principles found in Buddhism Plain and Simple, and those familiar with Buddhism will welcome this long-needed overview.

Fantastic!
I must admit that this was my first (serious) contact with Buddhism... and so I was probably enlighten to have this choice, an amazing piece for my first experience. Loved it, went through it twice, and still plan to revisit.

Very good explanation of essence of Buddhism
This is a very good book explaining the philosophy of Buddhism. It does not focus on history or traditions, but rather essence of the wisdom that Buddhism pursues

I couldn’t put this book down
As a psychotherapist I found this book fascinating how the Buddhism theory links to the Humanistic approach to the here and now. A great read will definitely be listening to this again and maybe again after that. The narrator was very easy to listen to, great job.

Very simplified easy to digest
While the book was good overall, I found that I didn't quite connect with the narrator as much. However, I understand that this is just my personal perspective.
