Publisher's Summary
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.

What an insightful book.
This was such an inspiring book that I decided to write some reflections (on altruism) on the Virtueberry blog. There are many great insights, including exercises on compassion. This book was recommended to me. So glad I took the time to listen. Thank you.

Matthieu Ricard you save my life
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.

Truly a Work of Genius!
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.

Enlightening
I have this a five overall of for no there reason than it really defined the purpose of meditation to me. It’s not exactly written in a way that is riveting to listen to the whole time but the volume of great information is priceless. Definitely something to re-read over the years

great read but...
Great philosophical and practical book.
I wish there was less Tibet/China biased political messages (I am not Chinese or even interested in the conflict).
I am buying a book for what it is advertised not for a political propaganda/recruitment.
This set aside, it is a must have if you want to broaden your horizon (my case) or of you are interested in Buddhism.
