Helpful, Easy to Understand
Wendy does a great job of explaining concepts in easy-to-understand ("everyday") language which helps to find ways to apply them in your own life. There are also sets of practice examples to give you more specific ideas to start practicing each part of the eightfold path

Crafty
Buddhism isn't a set path. It's filled with loving advice to make you and the ones that surround you have more of a sense of well being. He explains and then rewords key ideas making those ideas a lot more clear. You won't find his explanations anywhere else. Great source for a beginner and I would suspect an advanced Buddha would love to read his crafty explanations. 🪷

Exceptional read. Great reference book.
It’s a book for those that wish to grow past the common ground of personal growth. It deserves more than one read in order to get everything out of it. Excellent reference book.

Practical Buddhism for a happier life
It is said that there are 84,000 ways to awakening in Buddhism. Wendy has extracted the essence of the teachings and delivered them in an easy-to-read and practical style that brings all the teachings into a set of life-changing principles that will bring more happiness and joy to your life - even if you’re not a Buddhist. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who feels that their life could be better and more fulfilling, and who needs some good sense insight into navigating through the peaks and valleys of living.You can trust this book to be of benefit to your life - no matter what your beliefs.READ IT - YOU’LL LOVE IT!

Good book with caveats
This book provides a number of good ideas for implementing Buddhist philosophies and practices in our daily lives. However, it could have been better organized, written, and edited. I also thought it was kind of strange that Parts 4 and 5 of the book were literal reprints of content that was previously presented. Having said this, I hope this review reflects Right Intention and Right Speech!

The Title says it all "Everyday Buddhism"
I've long enjoyed the author's podcast's for quite some time. Both this book and her podcasts present practical and do-able things. She's a good speaker and in my opinion she's a better writer.As a lay-practitioner that owns over 30 titles on this subject, I place this book high on my 'valuable-to-me' list. I can wrap my head around what she's saying and why. I can see myself re-reading and referencing this title when questions arise about 'how can I approach this/practice this/achieve this'. I'm so happy she wrote it, 'cuz I can't remember what's worse than my memory. Now I can re-read it.

Read this book! The dhamma explained in everyday language.
If you’re looking for a teacher (and a -virtual- sangha), Everyday Buddhism offers a treasure of practical wisdom and explains the core teachings of the buddha in everyday language. This is something you can read and keep on reading, something to think about and to integrate into your everyday life. Being a secular practitioner of the dhamma myself, this was exactly what I was looking for: a critiqual and down to earth approach of the rich variety of Eastern and Westerns schools of thought in the world of ‘Buddhism’. There is a lot of material out there. This book covers my needs the best. I love it.
