Summary
Never has happiness as an emotional and physical state of being been so widely discussed. Matthieu Ricard is one of the most compelling voices on the subject, and one of the few who can bring together the teachings of eastern and western thought. In this accessible new work, Ricard provides a straightforward assessment of how to create true and lasting happiness. He addresses the pursuit of a meaningful life at its most fundamental level - the strengthening of the inner conditions that lead to genuine happiness. Ricard helps readers form new patterns of interaction with themselves and with the larger world, working toward happiness step by step, starting with 20 minutes of daily mind training and meditation.

This book changed my life forever 🙏
I bought and read this perhaps six years ago. I’ve reread it twice since then. It started me on a long, hard, painful path to putting right what needed to done, and finding and following my own path to contentment. A lot of books in this genre could just as easily be replaced with a pdf on how to meditate. Not this one. It’s special. A wonderful message, narration and articulation of what we should spend most of our focus on: how to get the most meaning out of life - and in the process, perhaps reduce the suffering around us and enhance our own happiness.

Thoughtful and inspiring
This is a book I will return to often and one I will gift to friends and perhaps people that aren’t, so that they may find the inner peace that they don’t understand 🙏🏼

Biased
Inspiring book. Great narrator. Definitively worth listening to. However, stay away from it if you meditation doesn't work for you. This books only answer to developing happiness is meditation.

Kind of useless
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
While the book as good in general I find some of the advise useless in todays age for most 'normal' people.

This certainly didn't make me happy.
I found it boring and extremely difficult to engage with and become interested. Very dissatisfied.
