Each chapter in this book is an episode from the "Buddhist Boot Camp Podcast", offering food for thought about the non-judgmental benefits of recognizing and acknowledging both the ego and the divinity within us all. It's not about living in a bubble where nobody pushes your buttons—it's about getting to a point where you don't have any buttons that can be pushed.
