Happiness and Well-being: A Yogic Perspective presents a comprehensive exploration of the timeless principles of Yoga as a pathway to achieving true happiness and holistic well-being in the modern world. Drawing from ancient Indian philosophical traditions and integrating them with contemporary psychological insights, this book examines the deeper meaning of happiness beyond material success or fleeting pleasures. In an era where stress, anxiety, and emotional disturbances have become widespread despite scientific and technological advancements, the wisdom of Yoga offers a transformative approach to living a fulfilled life. This work systematically introduces the reader to essential concepts of happiness as understood in Yogic philosophy, correlating them with modern research in psychology, neuroscience, and wellness studies. The foundational elements of Yogic thought, such as the Purusharthas (fourfold aims of life), the Ashtanga Yoga (Eight Limbs of Yoga) of Patanjali, and teachings from classical texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, are discussed in relation to their relevance in enhancing personal and social well-being. The book emphasizes that true happiness is not dependent solely on external circumstances but arises from a disciplined mind, emotional balance, and alignment with higher values of life. Through ethical living (Yamas and Niyamas), conscious breath control (Pranayama), mindfulness, and meditation (Dhyana), individuals can cultivate inner peace, resilience, and emotional intelligence. Practical exercises, reflective activities, and self-assessment prompts throughout the book guide readers to internalize the teachings and apply them meaningfully in their everyday lives. What distinguishes this book is its interdisciplinary approach, combining the ancient Yogic vision of happiness with contemporary frameworks such as positive psychology, emotional intelligence, and holistic health practices. By doing so, it bridges the wisdom of the past with the challenges of modern living, offering actionable strategies for self-development. The emphasis is not only on individual happiness but also on community well-being, recognizing the inter-connectedness between personal growth and social responsibility. Readers are encouraged to view happiness not merely as a personal pursuit but as a contribution to the well-being of others, fostering a more compassionate and harmonious society. Written in accessible language yet grounded in scholarly research, this book serves as a valuable resource for students, educators, yoga practitioners, wellness coaches, mental health professionals, and general readers seeking a meaningful life anchored in peace, purpose, and inner contentment. By guiding the reader through both philosophical understanding and practical techniques, Happiness and Well-being: A Yogic Perspective becomes more than just a theoretical exposition—it transforms into a living guide for anyone committed to personal and collective flourishing. It invites readers on a transformative journey from external seeking to internal realization, showing that the keys to happiness have always resided within, waiting to be unlocked through conscious living, mindful practices, and a harmonious alignment between mind, body, and spirit.
