The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness. Yongey Mingyur, Eric Swanson

The authors of this unique book, which combines Buddhist and scientific views, look into the most secret depths of human consciousness to reveal those primary factors that lay the foundation of our existence as individuals and the principles of our social interaction. It turns out that the desire to achieve happiness and avoid suffering is not only the intention of any being, but also the way it understands the world.

The easy-to-master meditation techniques outlined in this book – inspiration, on the body, on perception, on compassion, etc. – give the reader a simple, adequate and effective tool for establishing relationships with oneself and the world around them.

The book teaches how to achieve effective happiness, the science of which flourishes in our harmony with ourselves, in the warmth of our understanding of others. Teaching us to easily and organically master such a science is the goal of this work.
