"Thubten is able to explain meditation using clear language and an approach which really speaks to our modern tech-infused lives." —Rami Jawhar, Program Manager at Google Arts & Culture
In our never-ending search for happiness we often find ourselves looking to external things for fulfillment, thinking that happiness can be unlocked by buying a bigger house, getting the next promotion, or building a perfect family.
In this profound and inspiring book, Gelong Thubten shares a practical and sustainable approach to happiness. Thubten, a Buddhist monk and meditation expert who has worked with everyone from school kids to Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and Benedict Cumberbatch, explains how meditation and mindfulness can create a direct path to happiness.
A Monk's Guide to Happiness explores the nature of happiness and helps bust the myth that our lives and minds are too busy for meditation. The book can show you how to:
  • Learn practical methods to help you choose happiness
  • Develop greater compassion for yourself and others
  • Learn to meditate in micro-moments during a busy day
  • Discover that you are naturally 'hard-wired' for happiness

  • Reading A Monk's Guide to Happiness could revolutionize your relationship with your thoughts and emotions, and help you create a life of true happiness and contentment.
