[Buddha-l] buddha-l Digest, Vol 54, Issue 58 Happiest Man In The World

[Robert Leverant]

Separate from Matthieu Ricard¹s achievement,  is a highly acclaimed book,
that has just come out, that shows quite specifically how anyone from any
background can be happy and content ‹ if he or she wants to do the work.
The text and its exercises draw upon neuroanatomy, psychiatry, and Buddhist
teachings.

A Course in Happiness: Mastering the 3 Levels of Self-Understanding That
Lead to True and Lasting Contentment  by  Mardi Horowitz, M.D. (very noted
psychiatrist and researcher on the brain/neural pathways).
