Happiness

A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill

De: Matthieu Ricard

Narrado por: Robert Fass

In this groundbreaking book, 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.

I hope to see this become a foundational public school text.

This is a critically important work and I would love to see these concepts broadly understood and mindfulness incorporated into the training of children everywhere. These teachings provide a path to a much more humane and sustainable world.

I’ve listened to this book three times now..

This book is super soothing and supportive, and helped me with understanding the depths of what compassion can be and mean as an empowering, connecting experience. Buddhism is such a balm, super grateful for this book.

Valuable Tools from a very wise Buddhist Monk :)

I listen to this book on repeat, very often. The narrator is perfect. The author is an amazing wise, compassionate soul. I've been listening to Matthieu's teachings for years. I highly recommend this audiobook :)

Awesome

This is not just another book about Happiness. Matthieu’s experience is unique. I learned a lot

Matthieu Ricard you save my life

Matthieu's teachings and Buddhist philosophy saved my life. I suffered for many years from panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and agoraphobia. Thanks to Matthieu I was able to learn about the concept of neuroplasticity and use meditation as a tool to change my mind. Thank you my friend I hope someday you can read this.
