A Monk's Guide to Happiness: Meditation in the 21st century

Product Information

I like the way it gives some detail about GT's own experience, because that's the sort of thing one is bound to wonder about. Výsledok potom nie je bohvieaký, keďže desať až pätnásť minút meditácie oproti mnohým hodinám rozptýlenej pozornosti nemá veľkú šancu navodiť zmenu. Gelong Thubten, Buddhist monk, meditation teacher and author, has always been fascinated by the question of happiness.

Mick Brown ― Journalist for The Daily Telegraph --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition. Another point in GT’s favour is that he acknowledges that meditation can also be harmful if done too much or incorrectly. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. i think i only really appreciate the parts where he gave examples of how unhappiness can be fixed (although it’s easier to say than do obviously lol) and the parts where he gives steps to meditate were less enjoyable cause obviously it didn’t feel like reading a book but more a guide, so yeah nevertheless when he talks about emotions it’s very interesting!He explains about how our lives are causing us to be more distracted maybe anxious, sad, threatened. Jednotlivé cvičenia sú na pohľad jednoduché, a práve to z nich robí ideálne aktivity pre akékoľvek prostredie.

Ba dokonca nemusí byť ani tichý, niektoré cvičenia sú totiž zamerané na sústredné počúvanie a rozlišovanie zvukov okolia. Not just in the morning, but throughout the day by introducing micro moments so we never drop the mindfulness ball, even when we’re busy.

This book really does help you to change your life for the better, in the simplest possible yet most profound way.Tu sa naučil vnímať svoje telo i myseľ, v tichosti a rozjímaní odhalil netušené zákutia a silu vlastného vedomia. There is some guidance and having both the audio book and the hard copy were handy as there are guided meditations at the end so having someone read them to you rather than you having to read them whilst practising was very good, but also having the hard copy to reference was very handy too. Yes you could argue that this is a self help book but upon finishing it, it is simpler than that and much more informative. The points that are being made in A Monk’s Guide To Happiness are familiar if you have ever read books on meditation but GT is more comprehensive, more tuned in to all avenues of life whether it be literal, spiritual, physical or emotional.

Meditation gives us a choice to stop these these reactions and behaviours in their tracks and instead see each situation from new perspectives, interrupting learned responses.While happiness is characterized by a sense of fullness, presentness and freedom, unhappiness is marked by the opposite feelings.
