'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. He clearly illustrates why
we all need meditation and mindfulness in our lives.'- Benedict
Cumberbatch We all go through hard times. We can experience moments
when life feels like an uphill struggle, leading to unhappiness and
stress. Perhaps we are feeling sad, anxious, or are challenged to
deal with something bigger, such as a bereavement, a loss, a
painful ending or a broken heart. It is during these moments when
life feels difficult that we could do with some help with our
thoughts and feelings. In HANDBOOK FOR HARD TIMES Sunday Times
bestselling author of A Monk's Guide to Happiness Gelong Thubten
teaches us to understand that happiness, kindness and resilience
can be cultivated through reframing life's difficulties as
opportunities for transformation. Meditation and mindfulness
practices help us to access deep reserves of inner strength as we
learn how to 'lean into' our suffering. Thubten suggests how we can
find meaning in pain and discomfort, transforming deeply ingrained
patterns of fear and resistance. As we discover how hard times can
enhance the development of mindfulness, compassion and forgiveness,
we can develop a fearless outlook on life and lasting, unshakeable
happiness. This approachable and practical book, complete with
meditations, is designed for modern times, and will be a valuable
resource to anyone during times of struggle, but also during all
times to encourage and build resilience and help us find inner
contentment and peace.
The Sunday Times bestseller FEATURED ON THE DELICIOUSLY ELLA
PODCAST We're all on a search for happiness, but we're looking in
the wrong places. Everyone looks externally to find contentment, we
think material possessions will unlock our happiness. A Monk's
Guide to Happiness explains how and why we need to look within, and
connect to our true essence, in order to find peace. Everyone has
the potential to be happy, after all, we're all 'hardwired' for
happiness. But how do we get there? By meditating. Not just in the
morning, but throughout the day by introducing micro moments so we
never drop the mindfulness ball, even when we're busy. Meditation
is more than just a stress-reduction tool or a relaxation therapy,
it is the key to finding long-lasting happiness. Gelong Thubten, a
Buddhist monk who has worked with everyone from Silicon Valley
entrepreneurs to Ruby Wax and Benedict Cumberbatch, explores the
theme of happiness in his debut book and explains how to bring
meditation into our busy 21st century lives with simple exercises.
