The Joy of Living – Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness

For millennia, Buddhists have enjoyed the limitless benefits of meditation. But how does it work? And why?

The principles behind this ancient practice have long eluded some of the best minds in modern science. Until Now!

In this groundbreaking work, world-renowned Buddhist teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche invites us to join him in unlocking the secrets behind the practice of meditation. Working with neuroscientists at the Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior, Yongey Mingyur provides clear insights into modern research indicating that systematic training in meditation can enhance activity in areas of the brain associated with happiness and compassion. He has also worked with physicists across the country to develop a fresh, scientifically based interpretation of the Buddhist understanding of the nature of reality.

With an infectious joy and insatiable curiosity, Yongey Mingyur weaves together the principles of Tibetan Buddhism, neuroscience, and quantum physics in a way that will forever change the way we understand the human experience. Using the basic meditation practices he provides, we can discover paths through everyday problems, transforming obstacles into opportunities to recognize the unlimited potential of our
own minds.

With a foreword by bestselling author Daniel Goleman, The Joy of Living is a stunning breakthrough, an illuminating vision of the science of Buddhism and a handbook for transforming our minds, bodies, and lives.

Born in 1975 in Nubri, Nepal, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a rising star among the new generation of Tibetan Buddhist masters trained outside of Tibet. Deeply versed in the practical and philosophical disciplines of the ancient tradition.

The Joy of Living is available in bookstores now!

Looks like a geat read! We can never have to much Joy in this world or too many books that share light on how to attain Joy : )

Yes, this does look like a good book. Maybe I will purchase it. Thanks for the post!

Focusing more attention and energy on this angle of science will turn the negative tide of toxic wastes in a new and positive direction.

and to think that very recently I received a notification from Vitamin World about a neuro product designed to increase memory and brain functioning...I wonder which will really work...the softgels or the meditation...:-)
