Becoming a Buddha in 5 Weeks by Giulio Cesare Giacobbe (CD)

This audio book by Audioflow, based on the book of the same name by the Italian philosopher Giulio Cesare Giacobbe, is not primarily about the religion of Buddhism. Rather, it presents the psychological method taught by Buddha. The offer to attain Buddhahood in five weeks is undoubtedly serious! Liberation from suffering and lasting happiness are the characteristics by which one recognizes a Buddha. But according to modern understanding, these are also the goals for which psychology is responsible, even if they may seem distant to us in view of our life experience.

Giulio Cesare Giacobbe takes the path to freedom from suffering and happiness pragmatically using techniques from modern psychology, explained in an understandable and sensitive way, with a humorous wink and enriched with practical exercises. The audio book, pleasantly read by Jörg Schuler, Lena Simon and Christina Puciata, is presented in a classy double DigiPac with an eight-page color booklet.

Giulio Cesare Giacobbe studied philosophy and psychology. After training as a psychotherapist, he now teaches the psychological foundations of Asian therapeutic techniques at the University of Genoa.
