“I would like to thank you for creating Philosophers Notes! I get so much inspiration, grounding, peace, hope and awesome life reminders from them. For my "day job" I am a sales rep and spend hours in the car. Now that I have the Notes to listen to, I actually look forward to hopping into my car and sitting in traffic! OK - maybe that's a small stretch, but I really do immensely enjoy the Notes. I felt like a Philosophers Notes pusher the first few weeks I starting listening. I had to tell everyone I ran into how great they are. I hope you are encountering much success and fulfillment on your current journey! With much gratitude - ”  ~ Rebecca Berggren, Founder, Karma Market - a fair trade boutique

"So we end up with what the Buddha taught in his first teaching, which is called the Eightfold Path, when he said, ‘have Right View.’ Right View is having no particular, fixed view, which means seeing that all views are limited, that no particular view is the only view. They’re all restricted, they’re all limited, they’re all fragmented. Actually the right view is no view.'" ~ Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel
