The Winners:
To celebrate the holiday season, I’ve decided to do a series of giveaways for my book, Tiny Buddha: Simple Wisdom for Life’s Hard Questions, which launched right around this time last year.
If you’ve already learned about the book or purchased it, this post will be redundant for you! For those who haven’t read it, here’s a little information about it:
This is the first book of its kind—with tweets woven throughout.
I asked @tinybuddha followers a number of the most challenging questions in life, like:
- Why is there suffering in the world?
- What’s the meaning of life?
- What does it take to be happy?
- Why are relationships hard?
Since there are very few concrete answers to the big questions, I wanted to explore many varied perspectives to create a guide of possibilities for joy, purpose, and connection.
Although these tweets shaped the book, I also included a great deal of my own struggles, successes, and insights—far more than I’ve ever revealed on the blog. From my former battle with depression to my struggles with relationships, I shared how these questions have played out in my own life—and what I’ve learned at each step of the way.
Through this book, you’ll learn a few ideas to:
- Let go of pain from the past that’s been weighing you down and holding you back
- Create a sense of purpose, starting right now, even if you’re not doing what you want to do professionally
- Change habits that have not served you well and open up to new, better ways of being
- Experience happiness right now, regardless of your circumstances
- Improve your relationships
- Seize the moment to live more mindfully, passionately, and fearlessly
- Find a sense of control and empowerment in an uncertain world
I will do 4 giveaways this month, 1 per week. I will choose 2 winners for each giveaway and mail all of 8 books together at the end of the month.

I’ve been reading Tiny Buddha for about two weeks and the daily emails have quickly become one of the highlights of my day. On three different days it seemed as if you were able to read my mind and send a blog that spoke to issues I was struggling with at that very moment. Tiny Buddha=Big Wisdom! Thank you for all you do.
Would love to win this book, read it and then pay it forward…thank you <3
This is a great opportunity to share the love…whoever receives the book should share it when they are finished with it:)
Love your writings, Lori. Would LOVE to win this gem 🙂
I would love to bring this book into my life. Seems like a perfect instrument for inspiration and continued transformation.
Tiny Buddha always says the right things to me at the right times. It seems to know what I am going through on a daily basis. Currently I am at a very difficult point in my life, a time where I know a major change is needed. Tiny Buddha lets me know that I am doing the right thing. That I am making the right decisions. That, although to some what I am doing may seem selfish, in the end a better me makes me better to all those I care about. I was recommended Tiny Buddha from a good friend, who too has had life struggles. I cannot thank him enough for the recommendation. Whether I win or not, I love this site, I love the daily words of encouragement and enlightenment, and I plan on continuing my journey. Thank you so much!!!!
I’m so pleased to have found Tiny Buddha this year. Thank you so very much for those daily doses of wisdom and encouragement! 🙂
Tiny Buddha has helped me through many difficult and joyous times. I really get inspired by the wisdom of my fellow beings. Thank you for having such a wonderful site.
Tiny Buddha helps me get through my day. I would love to have this book my desk at work to keep me grounded and remind me of positive ways in which to see life.
this book looks wonderful! good luck everyone!
Thank you for this opportunity!
Love Tiny Buddha’s essays; always helpful!
I could use a boost for letting go of the comfortable and pursuing my dream.
Well, I would love to have your book Little Lori, but I don’t Tweet 🙁 Can’t even sing really:P I like to forward the daily words of wisdom to folks I think could use a little wisdom:)
I love this book, I hope to win a copy for my sister! Thank you so much!
I LOVE Tiny Buddha and look forward to it each and every day! You have helped me in ways far too numerous to mention and I thank God for your insight, sharing, and bringing this to me to help me along my journey. Blessings and joy always!
I am going through many struggles at the moment and there are several life changing events happening all at once. I feel as though there are so many things just ‘up in the air’ for me at present. I was scared to get this ball rolling, but I knew it wouldn’t be worth trying if it wasn’t scary. Now I am being as optimistic as I can, I’m not trying to rush things, and trying to let life sort of unfold for me. It’s lonely and I don’t know which direction to go in, but I feel safe knowing the universe will guide me.
The posts are usually exactly what I need to hear, at the time I need to hear it. Thank you for the insight.
Thank you 🙂
Yay! Buddha wisdom for everyday 🙂
Tiny Buddha is really awesome and helpful. Thanks for everything <3
There’s a certain calmness I always feel that washes over me when an article really resonates with me. For that, Thank You Lori and to your writers. Know it is greatly appreciated. I smile. 🙂
I enjoy getting emails from you with uplifting and thought provoke articles.
I would love a copy of this book! As a therapist, it would be not only helpful for me but for my clients as well!

Tiny Buddha is so helpful & insightful. I love the email newsletter because there is always an article that pertains to shift I’ve had during the very same week. Also read the posts about letting go because it really resonates with me. Thanks so much to you Lori & all your writers 🙂
