Book Overview
Enlightenment doesn't always come in the form we expect it. It need not be a self-styled guru or a complicated contraption measuring some mysterious quality. Sometimes it's as close as the chocolate lab bounding happily through the backyard, or the feisty terrier contentedly curled up on one's lap for a nap. In the foreword to this thoughtful, wonderfully illustrated gift book, Dr. Bernie Siegel says, "Dogs are healers. . . . They seem to have figured out how to live beautifully so much better than we humans have." Loosely modeled on 1980's underground classic The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment, this charming book celebrates the simple wisdom and that special combination of natural earthiness and subtle spirituality that characterizes humankind's best friend. Distinctive black-and-white dog images by acclaimed photographer Zackary Folk are accompanied by captions of down-to-earth spiritual wisdom "from" the dogs to their often confused "owners."

A Nightstand Staple
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I've had a rough couple of weeks...feeling a bit chewed up and knocked around. I found this little gem in the middle of my despair, and it lifted my spirits as only a dog's soft paw can do. The Lazy Dog's Guide to Enlightenment has blessed me with its simple and profound wisdom. Its pages bring me oh-so-close to the beautiful clarity of canine consciousness. I can only strive to be as evolved as my dog. I highly recommend it as a daily inspirational.

I wore a big grin the whole time as I read this charming little book. The fundamental and, until now, unrevealed truth of its message -- that our dogs are truly enlightened and we can learn much from them -- is what makes this book so witty and delightful. The artistry of the dog photos is worth noting. I kept going back to admire the variety of pooches pictured. I kept smiling....and contemplating....
