Editorial Reviews
Review
"Author Anam Thubten, who was born in Eastern Tibet, undertook Buddhist training in the Nyingma tradition at an early age and has been teaching in the West since the 1990s. His teachings are unpretentious and sometimes outright humorous, but they are also profound. No Self, No Problem is about how to let go of our notions of ego identity in order to discover our true nature and achieve real liberation. "We are perfect as we are," says Anam Thubten. "When we realize this, we are perfect. When we don't realize this, we are also perfect." There is a glossary of terms at the back of No Self, No Problem that those new to Buddhist concepts will find useful." - Shambhala Sun --Shambhala Sun, September 2009
"What a fine, lovely entertaining work about the art of cultivating pure consciousness and contentment... Put simply, it is impossible not to become attached to Anam Thubten's book, illusions notwithstanding" - Thomas Peter von Bahr, New Age Retailer --New Age Retailer, May 2009
"Anam Thubten goes to the heart of the matter in this easy-to-read, yet profound, book written in an accessible contemporary style" - Mandala Magazine's "Editor's Choice" --Mandala Magazine, October/December 2009

"In lucid, accessible language, [Anam Thubten] guides the reader to the realization of this infinite possibility" - Eastern Horizon --Eastern Horizon, September 2009
"Despite the seemingly simplistic message of the book's title, which significantly is all in lower case, he is both familiar with and sensitive to the psychological difficulties that can complicate spiritual practice. He approaches the core feature of Buddhist philosophy, `No-Self', in a direct, humorous, no-nonsense way that is softened by tender and compassionate insights ....Accessible and contemporary, [Thubten] frequently uses lively imagery to underline his points ... Provides not only a clear, engaging introduction to the Buddhist path but also inspiration and salutary warnings for more experienced practitioners." - Asya Chorley, The Middle Way --The Middle Way, November 2009
"The author, through discussions on meditation, inner contentment or detachment, awareness, acceptance, compassion, ultimate awakening and transcendent wisdom, enables us to realize and grasp that all the wealth is within us and in our control" - East and West Series --East and West Series
"A winsome winner. Each short chapter shows us the instant accessibility of our true nature ... Anam Thubten's main teaching is that `enlightenment can happen right now in a single instant'. His book is exemplary in pointing out how to accomplish this ... The boon of this book is that his words are so vivid, clear, and comprehensible, they pierce through our doubt and resistance like a laser" - Bohemian Buddhist Review --Bohemian Buddhist Review
"Whether you are new to the Dharma or a long-time practitioner, you will certainly find some helpful advice here." - Khandro --Khandro
"Anam Thubten lays the groundwork for an enlightened life in a simplistic way that not only a long time practitioner can understand, but those new to the path as well ... With clarity and a sense of soft spokennss, Thubten gives us the foundation to work from" --Nate DeMontigny, Precious Metal March 2010

Review
"Simply written but not simplistic, No Self No Problem tackles one of the greatest challenges of being a Buddhist: eliminating the sense of the separate self (the ego) as a means to accomplish enlightenment. Thubten's writing is straightforward and easily read, encouraging the reader towards the understanding that anyone and everyone can lose their attachment to ego, but he never comes across as patronizing: "It's easy... I did it and you can do it, too!" At the same time, Thubten points out that the way to enlightenment is far easier than we think it is: it simply comes down to losing attachments. Thubten acknowledges that failure can, does, and will happen along the way; accepting that truth will make things easier, although failure does not give excuse for not trying. His style is warm and inviting, and he sprinkles a good bit of humor throughout, keeping the text from becoming overly dry and boring. No Self No Problem should sit on the bookshelf of everyone interested in letting go of their ego."- Elephant Journal
