What's interesting about Phra Peter Pannapadipo is that he is an English Monk in Thailand! He once lived a very superficial life and now he has unveiled an extraordinary way to live.
He enables you to see that human cravings and desires are all rooted from the 'conditioned mind', and that you can overcome them, He makes many points to help us realize that the happiness people get from materialistic things are impermanent and cannot give you lasting contentment, In order to live a wholesome life, one must think wholesome thoughts! This book helped me keep a peaceful mind while I was in an odd place in my life I highly reccommend it to those who are interested in Buddhism.
