    I was really curious to check out that first book after your short version.

    But damn, the subject matter of that second book might draw my attention first. The Buddhist approach & techniques made so much sense to me in a completely pragmatic way.

    I might have to order myself physical copies of both of these to read outside by my koi pond on cool fall days. The fact that the whole scene will be so on the nose to the point of being cliched will just amuse me further, lol.

    Thanks for the recommendations!

    Edit: oh jesus christ there’s a koi on the cover of Why Buddhism is True, haha. Looks like I should invest in the hardcover.

      I got a lot out of Wright’s book and I continue to revisit it.

      It is a slow read that demands your attention, but it is very enlightening.

        I will keep that in mind. I look forward to taking my time with it. Thank you again!

        I ordered the other book too, but Wright’s book here has definitely jumped to the front of the line.
