Dennis Oliver presents the Buddha's program for spiritual awakening in less than 60,000 plain English words. He is convinced that we all can experience spiritual vitality and growth by applying the dharma in ways appropriate to our situations. The author describes dharma as the Buddha's teachings and, ultimately, the realities they point us to. While introducing the Buddha's core teaching, He challenges his readers to explore the Buddha's insights for self-improvement and ultimately self-transcendence, with many helpful questions to help us come to our conclusions. His approach is a practical and flexible introduction to what he terms The Buddha's Twelve Step Programme for Awakening.

Dr. Oliver explores the foundational Buddhist teachings with a call to personal transformation and growth, with contentment experienced as a byproduct of the journey of awakening, not just the prize at its end. The author shares his own story and others' (ancient and modern) to show the practicality of applying the dharma. The book includes dozens of relevant ancient and contemporary illustrations - both verbal and visual- including some original diagrams. Each chapter ends with provocative questions to consider and a unique picture by movie-maker Ian Noble - all to stimulate personal reflection.
