Awaken Every Day: 365 Buddhist Reflections to Invite Mindfulness and Joy Reviews
-
Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike will find multiple "take aways" from this book. Written by Thubten Chodron, known for her ability to explain concepts in an easy to understand way as well as her sense of humor, this book of daily devotions is instructive and deep while being easy to read. I find it interesting to compare and contrast the beliefs of different world religions. This book lends itself to that well.
My thanks to NetGalley and Shambala Press for allowing me to read an ARC of this devotional in exchange for an unbiased review. All opinions expressed here are my own. -
This is a comfortable book (for the most part) ...I look forward to each day’s offerings... some are uplifiting and others stir up feelings and give rise to thoughts that I wrestle with. The straightforward presentation allows the reader to not get bogged down in questioning the meaning of what is written. I will be reading more books by this author.

Great advice to help you reach your full potential. The book was written in language that was easy to follow and that can be broken into small pieces.
-
short readings, one for each day- read for spiritual inspiration. Some excellent, others hard to understand w/o background in Buddhist teaching.
-
Well written daily one-pager on a principle of Buddhism. I thought the book dealt with a lot of everyday issues and provided nice suggestions on handling them.
-
Reading everyday since September 2022

Very thought provoking. Some days were very Buddhist so I didn’t quite understand those. Overall very good.
