The Sunday Times bestseller 'Thubten is a very generous and kind
monk who writes with the lived honesty and humour of someone who
has experienced the wisdom he shares. His writing is full of
inspiration but also the pragmatism needed to form a sustainable
practice. His book clearly illustrates why we all need meditation
and mindfulness in our lives.' - Benedict Cumberbatch What is the
secret to being happy? Does happiness come from outside us or do we
need to look within? Can meditation help? Gelong Thubten has worked
with everyone from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to Ruby Wax and
Benedict Cumberbatch. In his warm and engaging debut book he
explores the nature of happiness and explains how to bring
meditation into our busy 21st-century lives with simple yet
effective exercises. Gelong Thubten, Buddhist monk, meditation
teacher and author, has always been fascinated by the question of
happiness. In his youth he tried to find it through living a wild
and extreme lifestyle as an actor in New York. This only led to
more unhappiness. Desperate for solutions, he found himself at a
Buddhist monastery where he became a monk. After training his mind
in intensive retreats he now helps many thousands of people
worldwide, showing them how to find inner happiness and a greater
sense of freedom. His book can help you: - Learn practical methods
that help you to choose happiness - Develop greater compassion for
yourself and others - Learn how to meditate in micro-moments during
a busy day - Discover that you are naturally 'hard-wired' for
happiness In this profound and inspiring book, Gelong Thubten
presents a practical and sustainable approach to happiness, and how
meditation and mindfulness can help us get there. Thubten helps to
bust the myth that our lives and minds are too busy for meditation.
Reading this book could revolutionise your relationship with your
thoughts and emotions. 'Gelong Thubten's book is as warm, wise and
generous as the man himself. We've never needed a voice like his
more.' - Melanie Reid, The Times 'Compelling to read, yet full of
profound wisdom, this wonderful book rationally describes how our
mind functions and how we can cultivate the habit of happiness.' -
Professor Lokesh Joshi, Vice President for Research, National
University of Ireland 'Thubten is able to explain meditation using
clear language and an approach which really speaks to our modern
tech-infused lives. With openness, humility and humour he delivers
a deep message that will resonate in our modern culture.' - Rami
Jawhar, Program Manager at Google Arts & Culture 'Gelong
Thubten's wonderful book provides a bracing challenge to our search
for instant gratification and "instant" happiness, and a lucid,
practical, step-by-step path to contentment and a genuine and
lasting peace of mind.' - Mick Brown, journalist for The Daily
Telegraph
