Publisher's Synopsis
THE PERFECT PATH TO HAPPINESS AND A HEALTHIER PLANET. True and lasting happiness seems to be the rarest thing on Earth. Why? Because we've all been misled. We've been taught to seek happiness through external means like - making as much money as we can, finding the perfect life partner, and hoarding as many material possessions as possible. Billions of humans are on this exact same flawed and unsustainable trajectory. Everyone is grasping at tiny shreds of temporary happiness and scrambling to acquire and consume. Sadly, this method of seeking happiness is not only ineffective, it's putting our planet and all of the lifeforms we share it with in great peril. The truth is, if we haven't already discovered a way to find lasting happiness within ourselves, nothing or no one will ever truly satisfy our feelings of yearning and discontentment. What's the answer to this conundrum? Mindfulness. Mindfulness is the perfect path to true and lasting happiness. It's also a prescription for the empty, frazzled, and disconnected feelings often associated with our toxic and frenetic modern life. The flow-state of mindfulness is a kind of altered consciousness that allows you to experience your life in a deeper and more substantial way and maintain happiness despite external conditions. When you're existing in this mindful stream of consciousness your entire being is transformed - your mood is improved, you're more positive, you feel more grateful and content. As a result the day's events unfold more effortlessly and you naturally attract more good things into your life. I truly believe that mindfulness has the power to heal our entire world, one person at a time. It's my wish that the next person is you.
