Summary
Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal training method for this generation's short attention span. The chapters in this audiobook can be listened in any order, and are simple and easy to understand. Each story, inspirational quote, and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You don't need to be a Buddhist to find the Buddha's teachings motivational. As the Dalai Lama says, "Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are."
So whether it's Mother Teresa's acts of charity, Gandhi's perseverance, or your aunt Betty's calm demeanor, as long as you're motivated to be better today than you were yesterday, it doesn't matter who inspires you. Regardless of religion, geographical region, race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, flexibility, or vulnerability, if you do good you feel good, and if you do bad you feel bad.
Buddhism isn't just about meditating. It's about rolling up your sleeves to relieve some of the suffering in the world. If you are ready to be a soldier of peace in the army of love, welcome to Buddhist Boot Camp!

Food for thought
Very interesting book with lots of ideas and themes that are really relevant to everyday life for most people. I really like how Timber talks about all his thoughts and ideas in a way that doesn't try and push them on you. Rather he presents each idea and encourages that if you're looking for a similar output as his life why not give it a try.

Life changing common sense
Why do we have to learn what we already know to be true from someone else...?
We are so caught up with the day to day stresses of 'normal' life, that we forget the basics and run the treadmill. This is an easy to follow book which brings you back to earth and focuses the mind on what is important. It clears away the claptrap. As we listen to the book, we know the narrative is correct and we can see how we have lost contact with common sense.
It left me grounded.
It is the sort of book you can dip into now and again when you feel the need to clear the mind of non essential concerns
Worth every penny.

Eye opening
Followed Timber Hawkeye for number of years, he explains things in a simply and easy way to follow, although it may difficult some days putying into practice what he says, he teaching have helped me massively. This book is well structured, you can dip in and out off it when ever you need it.

the book that saved me from myself
I love the style of Timber's writing. There's no religious dogma in this book, it's just a practical, down to earth, realistic suggestion of a peaceful and positive way of modern life. I listen to it regularly for motivation, centering and inspiration. I came across Timber Hawkeye somehow at a time in my life when I was lost. A time when I was giving my all to someone, found myself left out in the cold and wondering what was wrong with me or how I would ever get over it. Life seemed to be spiralling. Buddhist Boot Camp showed me a different way of looking at the world, a way that would remove fear, blame, guilt and negativity. Suddenly I understood and accepted and the dark cloud of anxiety lifted.
Everyone needs a Timber Hawkeye in their life. No preaching, no "conversion", no religion, no need to run off and wear robes and live in a cave! But a beautiful, inspiring way to find peace among the mad stresses of modern life. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone.

so much love and gratitude for this book
I've just finished listening to the audio version of boot camp, and am already looking forward to listening to it again. love and compassion are woven through every sentence and in the gentle and loving delivery of the audio book. I cannot recommend the book, an it has certainly given me plenty of food for thought about the way I live, and I did already think I was doing pretty well on the love and compassion front, but I can clearly see how I can be so much more loving and compassionate. thank you so much Timber Hawkeye

Great Guidance For Everyone
If you could sum up Buddhist Boot Camp in three words, what would they be?
Gold Standard Advice
What other book might you compare Buddhist Boot Camp to, and why?
It is a little unique but f you like Wayne Dyer or similar authors, this will appeal to you
What about Timber Hawkeye’s performance did you like?
Timber Hawkeye is clearly a genuine guy with a lovely honest and balanced approach to his subject. He is accepting of everyone and their own beliefs whilst being sharing and open about his own.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely
Any additional comments?
Buddhist or not, anyone would benefit from listening to this.
