Summary:

What would Buddha do? After all, he was a person like us. He struggled with life just as we do and eventually discovered life's deepest secrets. What better role model could we find?

While author Franz Metcalf's credentials include a Ph.D. in religion from the University of Chicago, his true abilities shine through in his sensitivity and sense of humor. He applies the profound teachings of Buddha in a simple and straightforward manner to questions of materialism, relationships and personal identity.

Plumbing the deep reservoir of Buddhist practices and texts, he finds solutions to everyday dilemmas about stress, love and personal values.

Just as the "What Would Jesus Do?" ("WWJD?") books help some people live better lives by drawing on the parables of Jesus, this "WWBD?" book provides key advice for improving your life by following the wisdom of another great teacher--Buddha.
