What Makes You Not a Buddhist
by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
"Entertaining" feels like the wrong word for this book but compared to other books about Buddhism I've read I am compelled to call it that. It's not a sufficient explanation of the concepts but a refreshing and relatively easy read that frames what modern wellness distilled into mindfulness and awareness (and vegetarians).
Fair enough, I can see why some readers find the tone somewhat arrogant or insensitive here or there. On the other hand, I also started to understand that a lot of things people do (especially in the Western world) must look weird or unreasonable to someone who is extensively trained on the path.
