Since this is an introductory text, it covers things you probably already know about - four noble truths, eight fold path etc.
However, there are some practical advice which I found to be nicely explained,
- Book has a chapter on meditation and I think it does get to the point without fluff, for example. It talks about Samatha (such as focus on breath) and Vipassana meditation.
- Talks about some important sutras such as Kalama sutra which is all about how to live your life as a Buddhist as a layman (as opposed to a monk).
