Synopsis:
New UK paperback edition. A revolutionary look at how to be happy by renowned translator and Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard, author of the best-selling the Monk and Philosopher.
True happiness is not found in the fleeting experiences of pleasure, but only in the depths of one's being. For Ricard, happiness is a deep state of well-being and wisdom that flourishes in every moment of life, despite the inevitability of suffering. We can minimize suffering in life by meditation and meditation exercises that individuals can practice appear in each chapter.
Ricard combines science with spirit, bringing modern psychological research together with Buddhist thought and offering a unique perspective in the dialogue between East and West. He makes a passionate case for happiness as a goal that deserves at least as much energy as any other in our lives. Wealth? Fitness? Career Success? How can we possibly place these above true and lasting well-being? Ricard's insights are timely and essential, as evidence grows of the profound and measurable effects of inner well-being on body and mind.
"If you want to be happier and better, this is the book you should read. It combines Buddhist wisdom with modern psychology to provide the best available philosophy of life and practice for the twenty-first century." Professor Richard Layard.
"A brilliant synthesis of 25 centuries of the wisdom of Buddhism with the neuroscience and cognitive psychology of the twenty-first century." Dr Martin Seligman. |
