The Buddhist Guide to Happiness: An Introduction to Buddhism

When people hear that I follow the teachings of the Buddha, they often ask who he was, what he taught and why I am interested in Buddhism. There are countless books, videos and website on Buddhism but it is hard to know where to start. I decided to write this book as a concise introduction to Buddhism to answer these questions and to explain how Buddhism can make people happier.

I have focussed on the aspects of Buddhism that mean the most to me and which I believe are best for somebody new to Buddhism to learn. I have kept my approach concise to allow the reader more scope to reflect upon what they have learnt. Buddhism is a personal journey and I hope this book plants the seeds for your journey.
