A Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness for the Modern Day
In our never-ending search for happiness we often find ourselves looking to external things for fulfillment, thinking that happiness can be unlocked by buying a bigger house, getting the next promotion, or building a perfect family.
In this profound and inspiring book, Gelong Thubten shares a practical and sustainable approach to happiness. Thubten, a Buddhist monk and meditation expert who has worked with everyone from school kids to Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and Benedict Cumberbatch, explains how meditation and mindfulness can create a direct path to happiness.
A Monk's Guide to Happiness explores the nature of happiness and helps bust the myth that our lives and minds are too busy for meditation. The audiobook can show you how to:
- Learn practical methods to help you choose happiness
- Develop greater compassion for yourself and others
- Learn to meditate in micro-moments during a busy day
- Discover that you are naturally 'hard-wired' for happiness
Listening A Monk's Guide to Happiness could revolutionize your relationship with your thoughts and emotions, and help you create a life of true happiness and contentment.

      In 2009, Gelong Thubten emerged from a four-year Buddhist meditation retreat to find what he calls a "zombie apocalypse"--a world in which everyone at all times is glued to their phones. He realized that meditation training was exactly what a stressful, overconnected society needs. Author and narrator Thubten now travels 300 days a year to teach meditation in hospitals, prisons, universities, and global technology companies. This experience makes him a relaxed and efficacious narrator who has a passion to explore the mental experience of happiness. Thubten concludes each chapter with a meditation exercise designed to ease listeners into an achievable regular practice. Longer guided meditation sessions for each technique are included at the audiobook's end. Thubten's instructions for "mindful micro-moments" stand out as especially transformative.
