****************************************
This practical guide, filled with handy links to exercises, really challenges our notions of what happiness is. The idea, held by many, of it being about pleasure, is torn down by the author’s brutal logic and honest disclosure of personal experience.
Instead we find that happiness is more akin to freedom, liberation from our judgements and attachment to outcomes, as well as compassion and generosity to others.
For those who are seeking more happiness in their lives, without drawing on religious or spiritual texts, this book is an invaluable resource.
