A Monk's Guide to Happiness: Meditation in the 21st century

Why Long-Lasting Peace Starts Within

We are all searching for happiness, but we often look in the wrong places, believing material possessions will unlock our contentment. Buddhist monk Gelong Thubten offers a profound challenge to this external search, revealing that we are all "hardwired" for happiness if we only know how to connect to our true essence.

In this essential guide, Gelong Thubten—a meditation teacher who has worked with everyone from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to actors like Benedict Cumberbatch—explains why meditation is the key to finding long-lasting peace.

He shows how to integrate mindfulness into our busy, 21st-century lives, not just by meditating in the morning, but by introducing micro-moments throughout the day. This practical and warm book is perfect for anyone wanting to find balance and a genuine, lasting sense of well-being.
