Synopsis

Get to know your own mind, stop judging, and be attentive-a Buddhist guide to happiness that's relevant to everyone.

East meets West in a fresh, modern take on a timeless challenge: how to find contentment and meaning in life. A longtime meditator and seasoned Silicon Valley entrepreneur meets a young, insightful, and traditionally educated Tibetan Rinpoche. Together they present a path to radical happiness through accessible meditation and mindfulness techniques. Following three parts, the authors guide readers through Basic Happiness, Interconnected Happiness, and finally Radical Happiness, with each section building on itself to form a complete program. Filled with personal stories, scientific studies, and step-by-step exercises, this is the perfect introduction to meditation and Buddhist thought. It's a thoughtful exploration of modern science and ancient wisdom-there's no dumbing things down-yet it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Themen wie im Moment leben, präsent sein und damit auch Meditation interessieren mich schon eine ganze Weile.

I received this book as a Goodreads Giveaway. I am not a huge self help person but have found a lot of merit in the mindfulness trend of the past several years.

Goodreads review by Mark on January 21, 2019

Far from a flash-in-the-pan self help book, this is an amazing manual I plan to return to again and again throughout life.
