WELL-ENDOWED!
Ha. Bet that's not what you expected to see first?
Ok, the full title of the book is: The Big Questions: How To Find Your Own Answers To Life's Essential Mysteries
I'm giving it 5 stars only because I know the author's style and I can tell from his intro that I'm going to love the book. His book, Awakening The Buddha Within was the first book that really got me interested in knowing more about Buddhism, and thinking that might be where my true spiritual interests lay. He has a good sense of humor (similar to the current Dalai Lama, actually, who refers to Lama Surya Das as "The American Lama" )... he really helps me to be able to see how to apply some of the thoughts and teachings of Buddha into real-world "American" use. It somehow just makes it seem more "attainable", y'know?
Anyway, I knew I would love this book when, in his introduction he said, "I was well endowed with the Why Chromosome ..." Awesome! I love it. I love the phrase, and the thought behind it, too.
The focus of this book is the importance of asking questions. I just bought it last night, and already I'm hooked. :)
