How can you be the person you want to be when you're trapped in a job that you hate? How is it possible to "be present" in an era full of distractions? Can I flirt with someone in a bar and still consider myself a spiritual being? This guide is for those who consider themselves to be spiritual, but not necessarily religious. It uses the teachings of Buddhism to answer those burning questions about relationships, work, social activities, and everyday dilemmas. Based on the author's popular advice column, Camina como un Buda offers wisdom that can be applied to these difficult situations. It teaches the reader how to walk like Buddha, that is, to live honestly with wisdom and compassion in the face of everything that may come your way in life.
