    This is one of the best books i've read. I love it! I'm reading a lot about mindfulness at the moment. I ordered mine from Amazon after borrowing it from the local library and reading it, and deciding i need a copy constantly at hand.

    Make sure you get "Buddhism for Mothers: A Calm Approach to Caring for Yourself and Your Children". It is the first book,

    The second one is ""buddhism for mothers with lingering questions", and it is mainly for those with older questions.

    The first one really covers the fundamentals.


    Anyone up for doing a bookclub discussion on this book?

    O thanks for the reminder! I've read "Buddhism for mothers" a couple of times and really enjoyed it, I knew she had written another, but could never remember to look out for it...i think I need it as my two are growing up now

    Just want to say - I read this thread, bought the book, and it is helping me so much! I am a Christian but OMG what a great book. She hits the nail right on the head, and already I am noticing I am able to be calmer, less anxious and more intentional.

    Great, thanks so much.
