As a mum that named her son Bodhi, this book called out to me.
A brilliant read from start to finish, very eye opening and... enlightening 😅
I particularly loved the bit about the family heirloom chair.

A different way to get information about the Buddha - in an interview format. There is some biography information at the beginning then goes into an interview. Really nice way to get information if not wanting to go into the nonfiction books out there. Nice series.
