Really Good

J.K. Mountain gives one of the best explanations of the 4 Noble Truths I have ever seen. His writing is easy to understand and he uses everyday examples. He also points out that its not just the *addict* who is addicted - almost everyone in our society is addicted to something, and the reasons for this as well as the way out are clearly outlined according to Buddhist understanding. The last part of this book may not make sense to folks who are unfamiliar with the 12 steps.
