Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal training method for this generation's short attention span. Enter Buddhist Bootcamp (hardcover) by Timber Hawkeye. The chapters in this small book are straightforward and can be read in any order. Each story, inspirational quote, and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You don't need to be a Buddhist to find Buddha's teachings motivational. 

Bestselling author and renowned Zen teacher Steve Hagen penetrates the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of Buddha's teachings: How can we see the world in each moment, rather than merely as what we think, hope, or fear it is? How can we base our actions on reality, rather than on the longing and loathing of our hearts and minds? And how can we separate the wisdom of Buddhism from the cultural trappings and misconceptions that have come to be associated with it? By being challenged to question what we take for granted, we come to see the world as it truly is. Buddhism Is Not What You Think offers a profound and clear path to a life of joy and freedom.

Also from Steve Hagen, Meditation Now or Never strips away the cultural and religious jargon surrounding meditation and provides an accessible and thorough manual for newcomers and experienced practitioners alike. Inside you will find simple meditation practices, tools to overcome common challenges that arise while meditating, and a unique philosophy that views meditation as a lifestyle, not just a spiritual practice.

One Dharma by Joseph Goldstein, one of America's most respected Buddhist teachers, distills a lifetime of practice and teaching into a groundbreaking exploration of the Buddhist tradition taking root on American soil.

In The Story of Buddhism, leading Buddhist scholar Donald S. Lopez Jr. explores the origins of this 2,500-year-old religion and traces its major developments up to the present, focusing not only on the essential elements common to all schools of Buddhism but also revealing the differences among the major traditions. Beginning with the creation and structure of the Buddhist universe, Lopez explores the life of Buddha, the core Buddhist tenets, and the development of the monastic life and lay practices.

Dharma Punx and Heart of the Revolution by author Noah Levine highlight the significance and usefulness of Buddhism for the young and restless in contemporary American. 

Can an authentic Jewish faith be wedded with Buddhist meditation practice? In That's Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist, esteemed Buddhist teacher Sylvia Boorstein addresses this incisive question in a warm, delightful and personal way. With the same down-to-earth charm and wit that have endeared her to her many students and readers, Boorstein shows how one can be both an observant Jew and a passionately committed Buddhist.
