Publisher's Summary

In this groundbreaking audiobook, Matthieu Ricard makes a passionate case for happiness as a goal that deserves as least as much energy as any other in our lives.

Wealth? Fitness? Career success? How can we possibly place these above true and lasting well-being? Drawing from works of fiction and poetry, Western philosophy, Buddhist beliefs, scientific research, and personal experience, Ricard weaves an inspirational and forward-looking account of how we can begin to rethink our realities in a fast-moving modern world. With its revelatory lessons and exercises, Happiness is an eloquent and stimulating guide to a happier life.

Happiness is within

His writing is so simple but so complicated at the same time. Live life one day at the time and be grateful to wake up the next day.

What an insightful book.

This was such an inspiring book that I decided to write some reflections (on altruism) on the Virtueberry blog. There are many great insights, including exercises on compassion. This book was recommended to me. So glad I took the time to listen. Thank you.
