Hi 11jono11:
The lessons are the more complete version of AYP, with more techniques and perspectives in most areas of practice than found in the Enlightenment Series books. However, because the lessons have been written "on the fly" over the past 7 years, they are not as well organized as the enlightenment series.
The enlightenment series does a better job of covering the core practices of AYP in an incremental way -- one compact book for each area of practice.
Btw, AYP Easy Lessons Vol 2 is not out yet. Most of it is online here on the website already, and the rest will be included when the complete book comes out in a few months. Once Vol 2 is out, the two Easy Lessons volumes will be the most complete coverage of everything that is in AYP, while the e-series will continue to provide organized incremental coverage of the core practices.
It's up to you whether to go with the lessons or the e-series, or both. If you are into ebooks, we have recently expanded to additional formats covering nearly all e-reading devices, and you get all formats with each ebook when downloading directly through the AYP website. There are also attractive offerings for "bundled" ebook downloads, where some or all of the AYP books can be obtained for substantial savings over buying them one at a time.
If you are into MP3 audiobooks (e-series only), all the "direct download" AYP audiobooks now come with the corresponding ebooks included for free in the zip file.
All of the ebook and audiobook "direct download" offerings can be found here:
