Probably my first author was Chögyam Trungpa, I have read some writings about Tibetan Buddhism from Kalu Rinpoché and of course the Dalai Lama. Warning readers to tread with caution and take steps to engineer the right timing environment for meditation. In this profound and inspiring book, Gelong Thubten presents a practical and sustainable approach to happiness, and how meditation and mindfulness can help us get there.

Gelong Thubten is sharing his wisdom and encourages the reader to consider a more open, more relaxed mind that may improve mental health and maybe even affect your health in general for the better. Bringing together all of his knowledge and behaviour over the years as a monk, a speaker, a teacher and at the same time openly recognising his past choices and mistakes.If we are not training our mind, the very fundament of our universe (because our whole world is how we perceive the world! Thubten, a Buddhist monk and meditation expert who has worked with everyone from school kids to Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and Benedict Cumberbatch, explains how meditation and mindfulness can create a direct path to happiness. To do this, pick two or three ordinary actions that you usually do mindlessly, like brushing your teeth, eating lunch or climbing the stairs. Not sure I will listen to / read the whole book again but I will possibly dip in if / when I ever feel inspired to do so, glad I’ve read the book though.
