About this listen

The best-selling introduction to Buddhism. Every once in a while you come across an extraordinary book with the power to change your life. Buddhism For Busy People is one such book.

What does it take to be happy? We've all asked ourselves this question at some point, but few of us have found the path to lasting fulfillment.

David Michie thought he had achieved his life's goals - the high level job, the expensive city apartment, the luxury car, great holidays...but a small voice was telling him he wasn't really happy. A chance remark from a naturopath sent him to his local Buddhist centre. There, he began the most important journey of his life.

In this simple, beautifully written book, David Michie opens the door to the core teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. With wry, self-deprecating humour, he shows us how he began to incorporate Buddhist practices into his daily life. He explains how he came to understand the difference between the temporary pleasures of ordinary life, and the profound sense of well-being and heart-felt serenity that comes from connecting with our inner nature.

Please note: new audio was uploaded for this product on June 4th 2019 - additional meditations are now included at the end of the audiobook.

Simple, concise and clear. Fantastic narrations which were very helpful indeed.
You could not get lost or confused in this audio book, everything interconnects perfectly.
Felt like I was having coffee whilst taking to a great friend.
I felt the heart in the audio book and really felt as though the narrator sought a deep and meaningful connection with his listeners.
A very smooth listen, the best part was that it didn't feel like a lecture.

A good introduction to Buddhism and I will likely listen to this again. my only grief is that the voice and tone are gentle so it's easy to lose focus while trying to listen to it.

I have a master's degree in clinical psychology and I'm well aware of the various cognitive behavioural therapies. However, I wasn't aware that Buddhism used the vast majority of these techniques and have been doing so for centuries. The part that really stuck with me was talking about destiny. In most religions they consider this to be predetermined whereas in Buddhism they think of it as how you perceive the world leads to your destiny. If you change your perception you can change your destiny as it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

I'm only on chapter 4 and am surprised to find myself feeling slightly disappointed. I love David Mitchie's books, but listening to this one, I don't like the way he talks about women. The tone is slightly sexist.

Unsure if I like this

Practical, simple and carefully constructed guide to anyone wanting to enquire how they might begin to understand and use simple techniques to improve their lives. You don’t have to be committed to Buddhism to listen to this!
I’m going to keep coming back to this time and time again.

An accessible and informative read for all enquirers
