K. Sri Dhammananda: How to Live Without Fear & Worry

In the last few weeks, I turned to books on buddhism keep myself from checking the news and going insane. K. Sri Dhammananda’s How to Live Without Fear & Worry is filled with insightful advice. As I was reading, I started to put sticky notes on the passages that I found useful.

Last Monday, the day before the election, I went back to Lancaster to visit my aunt and I brought the book with me. When I left her house, I also left the book behind. I only realized it was missing when I was already half way home. I didn’t want to leave the book half read, but I didn’t want to drive back to get it either.

Since this book was not for sale, I could probably find a digital copy of it and I did. Even though I didn’t like reading on my phone, I made the exception. To save the passages I liked, I decided to do a little experience. Instead of pasting the text to my Google Doc, I flooded my Facebook timeline. I would go back to my posts and collect them later, but I also wanted to share positive vibes to family and friends. I hope they would find the quotes useful.

I definitely recommend reading the entire book, but if you don’t have the time, you can read my notes.
