In this groundbreaking audiobook, Matthieu Ricard makes a passionate case for happiness as a goal that deserves as least as much energy as any other in our lives.

Wealth? Fitness? Career success? How can we possibly place these above true and lasting well-being? Drawing from works of fiction and poetry, Western philosophy, Buddhist beliefs, scientific research, and personal experience, Ricard weaves an inspirational and forward-looking account of how we can begin to rethink our realities in a fast-moving modern world. With its revelatory lessons and exercises, Happiness is an eloquent and stimulating guide to a happier life.

This book is super soothing and supportive, and helped me with understanding the depths of what compassion can be and mean as an empowering, connecting experience. Buddhism is such a balm, super grateful for this book.

I’ve listened to this book three times now..

This is a critically important work and I would love to see these concepts broadly understood and mindfulness incorporated into the training of children everywhere. These teachings provide a path to a much more humane and sustainable world.

I hope to see this become a foundational public school text.

Loved it! A scholarly review of the literature on happiness with a Buddhist philosophy sentiment. I've read several books on this topic and this one is clearly superior. The narration is also flawless and so it is a delight to listen to. You will have much to contemplate while listening to this amazing audiobook.

Truly a Work of Genius!

Matthieu's teachings and Buddhist philosophy saved my life. I suffered for many years from panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and agoraphobia. Thanks to Matthieu I was able to learn about the concept of neuroplasticity and use meditation as a tool to change my mind. Thank you my friend I hope someday you can read this.

Matthieu Ricard you save my life

Could finish, the narrator voice is so hard to listen. Sounds AI, emotionless. Should be a welcoming warm voice.

This is an incredibly good book. A lot of good gems, but it seems to be very biased against some countries. I wonder why. The author did not have to be like that. Spread love but not hatred.

Good except for partly subtle xenophobia

Un imprescindible en toda biblioteca! Básico y a la vez profundo. Para reflexionar y para actuar.

Fantástico

Could be life changing…
