We all just want to be happy, right? This book reveals that the true secret to attaining happiness has everything to do with shifting our focus from ourselves to others. According to Dzigar Kongtrul, author of "It's Up to You", when our natural intelligence and innate compassion are sparked by Buddhist meditation and contemplation, we discover insights into what true happiness means - and how to achieve it. The longing for happiness expresses the great natural potential of the heart and mind, and turns us toward our innately positive attitude. Kongtrul, who is Pema Chodron's teacher and friend, shows that when we include others in our wish for happiness, we move toward joy and contentment based on selflessness and the concern for others' well-being. 'In trying to articulate what is so profound about his style of presentation, I find that partly, it is the prolonged and intensive Buddhist training he received; partly, it is the way he never holds back but always challenges himself; partly, it is his good heart and humility; partly, it is that he has immersed himself wholeheartedly in Western culture; partly, it is that he knows the minds of students; partly, it is his almost ruthless directness; partly it is because you feel understood and appreciated; partly, it is because you feel you can't get away with anything' - Pema Chodron.
