Tricycle Teachings: Addiction
Summary
The best way to understand what samsara feels like might be to reflect upon our addictions. Compulsive behavior can take many forms: eating, shopping, or cultivating thought patterns. Even going to the gym can be addictive, as we sometimes turn ordinarily healthy habits into self-destructive obsessions. This Tricycle e-book offers Buddhist wisdom and advice from over a dozen teachers on addiction and recovery.

Are these e-books readable in a kindle? And can I purchase them as a gift for someone else to read on their kindle?
Hello,
Yes, the e-books can be read on a Kindle. Right now we don't have the option available to purchase them for a friend's Kindle, but we'll look into the possibility!
