In book 1, ‘A Beginner’s Guide to Buddhism: Your Path to a Meaningful Life’..., the author draws on her own experiences (as well as those of her father - an ordained Buddhist monk for well over a decade) and writes about how Buddhism shows the key to a meaningful life is to live with the right thought, the right speech, and the right action; and how the right steps will lead you to the true happiness.
