This book is a wonderful, informative book about life in bhutan, you almost feel like you are there. I have visited Bhutan and the descriptions by Linda Leaming are truthful and beautiful about the people and geography of this magical country. I hope more people in America will read this book and put their life in perspective , we are not on this earth forever, make your life count: that does not mean with money and material things, you are not taking one thing with you when you leave, just the love and kindness you gave will matter. Signed: Daunn Munn

Married to Bhutan is the best book I've read this year so far. And I stumbled upon it by accident. I was looking at Eric Raff's "No Sense of Direction" and this was one of the "customers also read" choices. Since Leaming's memoir is about following your intuition and about choices, I like the fact that it fell into my lap.When I was about 13, my English teacher at my school in Ireland left and went to Bhutan. She came back and did a slideshow for the whole school. I just remember how happy and relaxed she seemed. There was one picture of her sitting in an outdoor bath, smiling, with a grinning young Asian man pouring water over her. All the girls laughed nervously. I never forgot how she had "followed her bliss." I can't remember if she came back to teach, or returned to Bhutan. But it was a rare glimpse of someone daring to make an unconventional choice.To get back to Leaming's memoir. It's beautifully written. A tongue in cheek humor comes through in the first part, where Leaming describes her experiences teaching English at a school in Bhutan. Her efforts to learn Dzongkha, the Bhutanese language, are truly hilarious. I guess I wondered why she was so desperate to fit in in this foreign country. The funny thing about the book for me is that as it progressed, I really didn't take to Bhutan! I realized that I would be quite unhappy there, what with the isolation, the crazy roads, the religious conformity, not having water on a regular basis, and so on. But I never for a moment doubted Leaming's love of the country. And I found her description of her relationship with her now husband, a thanka painter at the school, quite touching. There is a picture of them together at the end that melted my heart. They look right together.The book is not so much introverted and psychological as it is a meditation on happiness and making choices. Leaming says, "In the West it is possible to live and be asleep. In Bhutan one is compelled to wake up." She has certainly made what many people would think of as a crazy leap, to leave behind all that she knows and fully adopt a foreign country and its ways--and yet it makes perfect sense. In the end Leaming suggests that we can all find our own version of Bhutan, off the beaten path.

I was invited to Bhutan to speak at a International Congress on Asian Medicine and I fell in love too! So as I read this book I was totally captivated and I felt like I was back in Bhutan. The people are indeed wonderful and happy! I delayed reading the last chapter because I did not want the book to end! I've since joined her web page and get news from time to time. I am amazed at how well she acclimated coming from the Continental U.S. to Bhutan but I can definitely relate and indeed how she describes Bhutan and her people is very accurate. I love this book!!! I had a wonderful time and a very profound Spiritual experience. I will be returning to Bhutan. They truly have had over 100 years of peace and happiness! Get it, enjoy it.

This memoir describes American Linda Leaming's adjustment to a very different culture and a much simpler life. How she came to love Bhutan would be an interesting story in itself. But this book goes beyond explaining Leaming's adjustment. It also describes the beautiful and severe natural environment and the beauty of the people and customs of this agrarian Buddhist society. The contrast with American materialism is striking, both in terms of the day-to-day hardships of life in Bhutan and the shallowness of American priorities in the grand scheme of things. The author describes her learning process and mistakes with humor, making the book very pleasant reading. Rather than trying to be exhaustive, she details particular experiences; some readers might disagree with her choice of what it is important to describe. And perhaps learning about Bhutan is less interesting to readers who never expect to be there. I'll be visiting Bhutan in the near future, and i found her perspective and information very valuable.

I tripped over this captivating book while looking for something to introduce me to Bhutan before traveling there. I was charmed by it -- and this gruff old man isn't charmed by much, and certainly not by "chick lit." But more to the point, it was a perfect primer for this soon-to-be visitor. Without my realizing it, Leaming gave me insights into the culture, religion and character of this fascinating place that made my trip much more informative and interesting. I insisted my wife read it too, and she is more enthusiastic about it than I. We both told everyone else in our touring group they absolutely had to read it. Westerners have a tough time grasping non-Western cultures and viewpoints; this charming, warm, informative little volume helped me be open to a world far different from mine.

This was a very unique and different kind of book and very hard to find - only one copy in the state of IL library system! But one of our book club members suggested it. I loved her laid back quirky but clean style of writing - it all felt very tongue in cheek and at the same time as if she was sitting on a mountain top with her eyes closed and musing. Reading it was to experience "letting go" in the Buddhist sense - of any attachment to the things that Americans feel define life but instead trap us into our gerbil wheel of existence. Clearly Bhutan is one of the most beautiful places in the world physically and inwardly. A country that focuses on " Gross National Happiness" as opposed to "Gross National Product".
