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 jargon, Happiness contains simple exercises that will train the mind to recognize and pursue happiness by concentrating on the fundamental things in life, and in doing so change the way we view the world.

Matthieu Ricard combines the talents of a philosopher and scientist -- George Soros
If you want to be happier and better, this is the book you should read -- Richard Layard, author of Happiness: Lessons from New Science
