The Buddhist Guide to Happiness

What if the secret to happiness isn't getting everything you want-but learning to stop needing everything to go your way?

Let's face it. Life is messy. People are irritating. Plans fall apart. Your mind won't stop worrying, your happiness never seems to last, and just when you think you've finally figured things out, the universe finds another way to test your patience. Sound familiar?

In The Buddhist Guide to Happiness, Buddhist monk and bestselling-writer-in-his-own-mind Tashi Norbo brings ancient wisdom into the wonderfully chaotic world of modern living. With refreshing honesty, laugh-out-loud humor, and a compassionate understanding of what makes us human, Tashi reveals why happiness keeps slipping through our fingers-and how to stop chasing it long enough to actually experience it.

Through 32 engaging chapters inspired by the Buddha's teachings, you'll discover how to:

• Let go of anger, jealousy, and resentment without becoming a doormat.
• Find happiness in ordinary moments instead of constantly chasing the next big thing.
• Love deeply without clinging and build healthier relationships.

Tashi shares hilarious monastery mishaps, surprisingly relatable personal struggles, practical Happiness Experiments, and his signature Ask Tashi advice. You'll even find a 30-day happiness practice to help bring these timeless teachings into your everyday life.

You don't have to be Buddhist. You don't have to meditate for hours. And you definitely don't have to become a perfectly peaceful person who never gets annoyed.

Warm, funny, wise, and wonderfully human, The Buddhist Guide to Happiness is your invitation to stop chasing the perfect life-and start finding joy in the one you're already living.
