Simple but strong

This book was the second book I read in the area of buddhism, and I really enjoyed it. Maybe because the lessons are practical, and easy to learn. Its also helped me change my frame of mind to a more peaceful one. If you find yourself highlighting parts you like in books of this type, this book is for you. Mainly because a majority of it is excellent quotes by his holiness. I suggest this book to anyone that likes the buddhist way of thinking, or that could just use some simple advice. : - )
