It's Easier Than You Think - Sylvia Boorstein

 Subtitle: The Buddhist way to happiness

This is a book that introduces the philosophy of Buddhism.  I'll keep it for reference as the ideas and principles resonated with me a lot.  I can pick this up and find thoughtful practices and insights that ease my mind.

Quotes:

"Gossiping is talking about someone who is not present. Talking disparagingly about a third person is inviting the listener to share your grumbly mind space."

"Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of present experience."

"Friendliness is not hard.  We don't need to learn to be friendly.  We need to remember to be friendly."
