Review from The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching →
Thich Nhat Hahn has such a clear way of translating the Buddhist teachings in such a clear and understandable way but still so full of all the wisdom and deep intellectual teachings of the Buddha. This is by far the best inclusive book of the Buddhist teachings I have ever read. I have been practicing..
this story will break your heart, make you grin, and scrub your face in frustration. this depiction of a first love in high school hit all the right notes and you will see yourself making the same mistakes these characters do. the performance is amazing, they include sound effects to really bring you into the..
The historical context given as explanation for the rise in serial killers in the 60s – 80s is enough reason to read this book! on top of that, the author gives in depth insight to many many cases of serial murder. I think he is right on the money with his theories and his warnings..

Across Vronsky’s titles..
Review from Super Thinking →
I liked the book overall, but the authors spend too much time using textbook definitions and examples for a lot of the concepts.
