Yes Buddhism for dummies!
I don't really see Buddhism as a religion or path, I see it as a good pointing towards truth or things we can learn about ourselves and life. I would recommend one read about these "truths" from different perspectives to get a truer sense of what is being pointed at.
Like:
Journey of Souls by Michael Newton
The Awakening of Intelligence by Jiddu Krishnamurti
White Fire by Mooji (Zen)
A Separate Reality by Casteneda
The Way of Zen by Alan Watts
Seven Story Mountain by Thomas Merton
Or just watch these movies:
Billy jack 1971 Tom Laughlin
Hair (1979) John Savage, Treat Williams.
Little Buddha - Keanu Reeves, Bridget Fonda
Defending Your Life (2001) Albert Brooks, Meryl Streep
Thunderheart 1992 Val Kilmer
All of these movies deal with making choices that change what we are.
