About this product

Product Information

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.

  • Great intro to meditation and Buddhism.

    This is the kind of book that soothes you just from reading it. It is an easy to understand and practical guide to beginning a meditation practice. Since buying it over a month ago I have meditated every day, and I put it down to this book and the exercises in it. I love my morning routine now. Definitely recommend.

  • Interesting and useful

    Really well written and such an interesting read. A lot of books on this topic are so densely written with complex information, but this book is difficult to put down! I’ve been reading it for two days and I’m half way through already, really enjoyable and useful information that you can put into practice.
