tommyhousworth's review against another edition
5.0
My favorite spiritual book - a clear-minded, down to earth collection of essays by Geri Larkin on Buddhism and how it can be applied to anyone's life, be they Methodist, atheist, or practicing Zen Buddhist.
She's witty, openly neurotic, but crystal clear and confident in what has worked for her and those around her. It's about the journey, not the destination for Larkin, and that's a refreshing approach to spirituality for someone raised with the carrot-and-stick approach of Southern Baptist dogma (c'est moi).
Larkin's got such a light touch, you feel like you've cozied up by the fire with tea and an old friend, rather than coerced your bare feet into the lotus position for lesson time with The Master.
All of Larkin's books are terrific - this may be her best.
