- Be a better person
When I listen to this podcast, it reminds me to be a better version of myself. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who wants some practical ways to “be a better whatever you already are.”

United States12 days ago - Eightfold path
This show has given me peace and calmness and meaning to my otherwise meaningless day. The website eightfoldpath.com is quite a revelation. Love the answers it has given me to my questions. It can be my daily guide as I start my day and when confronted by questions, doubts, uncertainties, and even darkness. Thank you. You’ve made a lot of sense to many senseless things goin on in this chaotic world we live in. I’ll give you even more than 5 stars.

I have been listening o Noah for years. I enjoy how he explains Buddhism for Westerners. His voice is calming and I enjoy the personal moments he shares. I do not understand how anyone could give him a bad rating, they are obviously not working on themselves and have not even surface the concept of enlightenment.
