One of my most treasured books is ‘a Meditator’s Handbook’ by Ajahn Brahm. As the title implies, it serves as the best guide I have read so far. Sadly, action is another matter. J
Another book which I recommend is “Who Ordered This Truck Load of Dung”. It is really a book of anecdotes but more importantly those stories reveals many personal insights as well as life as a monk. Ajahn Brahm’s writings and talks are delightful to read and hear. Behind that wit, I am quite certain lies an enlightened mind.
You may be able to find them at the local stores but if Amazon’s the thing, here’s the link:

You have recommended a gem of a book. There are, I think, 108 short episodes. Maybe you can share a couple of them with others on your blog
Great! Bet you found something from the book.Good idea. I should once my lazy bones finish creaking, shouldn’t I?
BTW, which is yr favorite episode?
I dont have a favourite episode. Every episode has its own story line and something for us to learn and reflect on. One that I like to relate to friends is the brick laying exercise
