Open Heart, Clear Mind by Thubten Chodron, an American Buddhist nun.

This introduction to Buddhism by an American Tibetan Buddhist nun focuses on practical applications of Buddhist psychology to modern life. In a straightforward style and with warmth and humor, Chodron sets forth the fundamental points of the Buddha's teaching on transforming habitual attitudes and realizing our full human potential. "...conveys a clear understanding of Buddhism as it has been practiced by Tibetans, in easily comprehensible language."--His Holiness the Dalai Lama
