Buddhism, Pure and Simple

Merlin posted about this book here: for me, it invokes a very similar feeling as properly done GTD. GTD is about the present, the now, the next action; the next physical action. it's the same thing. embracing the now. living life as a series of present moments. 12 Comments

I really do love that book. It's small enough to carry around, and I enjoy reading a chapter on the bus, waiting in line--wherever I can. I realize in some ways he's probably "dumbing it down," but I think I'm getting a better grasp of the basic concepts than I'd get elsewhere. And, yes! I absolutely agree with you. I'm holding off talking about it much until I *get* Buddhism a bit better, but there are definitely some interesting crossovers. (While you're at it, try also contrasting them both with cognitive behavioral therapy -- I'm still working out the Venn diagram in my head, but there's def. something there; the idea of seeing clearly.) » POSTED IN:
