"'A remarkable book. It is hard to imagine a more convincing guide to that elusive thing: happiness' Pankaj Mishra. 'If you want to be happier and better, this is the book you should read. It provides the best available philosophy of life and practice for the twenty-first century.' Richard Layard, Professor of Economics, London School of Economics 'The readers of this book will find themselves in the presence of an extraordinary human being... [It] beautifully illustrates that happiness is to be found in controlling the mind, not circumstances' Daniel Kahneman, winner Nobel Prize economics, 2002 'In his new book, Ricard combines the talents of a philosopher and scientist to produce a rigorous and compelling analysis of his subject. He reminds us that to change individuals is also, ultimately, to change the world.' George Soros"
Book Description
Although we are materially better off than ever before, surveys show that
we are depressed and listless. In his revolutionary book, Buddhist monk
Matthieu Ricard, shows that happiness is not just an emotion, but a skill
that can be developed. Free of mumbo jumbo, Happiness contains 20-minute
exercises to train the mind to recognise and pursue happiness by
concentrating on life's fundamentals.
