This is my favorite book. It can change your life by teaching you to be more in control of your thoughts. I read it at least once a year. It is simply written. I am going to have my teenage son read it.

Of all the amazing books of this genre I've read, I return to this more often, refer it to more people and just all around appreciate it more than any other.
I'd love to get specific and sound brilliant but fact is I've not read it for a while so what arises for me is a feeling... a feeling of clarity, inspiration, simplicity, and depth.
Do own this book... read it often and feel the freedom!
And if you enjoy this book, check out my latest, Strength for Life: The Fitness Plan for the Rest of Your Life. In it you'll find familiar themes and practices effectively disguised and training, nutrition and inside out fitness.
Great Audio book....June 25, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Beautiful book by Sakyong Mipham...
The ideas and theory behind the talks are alot deeper than they first appear.....
Instead of listening to NPR news and the "negative" news always on tv/radio... its nice to listen to these audio books...
I am not very good at sitting meditation, so I did not sure the 3rd CD yet... but overall... recommend this great audio CD..
The Lineage of Shambhala From Father to SonJune 6, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The son of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Sakyong Mipham who is the lineage holder for the Shambhala world his father revealed, is able to freshly express this royal path. The "crazy wisdom" taste of Trungpa isn't here but is wonderfully matched by the gentle, loving and compassionate clarity of the Sakyong. This is a short book that is very easy to read and reflect upon. The chapters are short and to the point. There are glimpses of the writer and his life which make this very human and real. Shambhala, windhorse and the dralas are meant to inspire and this book does that. Although it's simple and clear, it bears rereading and studying. It makes this reader look forward to future teachings of the writer.
