Atum's Latest Recommendations

bullet

Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill - Matthieu Ricard , ISBN 0316057835

The spirit of this book embodies its title. Happiness addresses the central intention of Buddism, which is universal to all people; the fostering of happiness and relief of suffering.  The luminous teachings offered here are interwoven with relevant, current findings in Western Psychology. Comprehensive, yet wonderfully accessible, warm-hearted good stories, comprehensive, and with excellent exercises at the end of each chapter for personal integration. Also good for small group study and practice.
