I do not know of any personally, but I would advise to maybe look into the dalai lama as he is always keeping up with the times and such a great teacher. As you know, Ajahn Brahm is a great man of words and teachings, he often applies them to every day life, along with his jokes

Buddhism is Not What You Think by Stephen Hagen

The Dhammapada is a popular travel size book that is wildly popular in bookstores. It is ancient wisdom but gives the vibe of the 'strict buddhism'. It reads to me like Khalil Gibron's wise book on 'life'.
