Knowing the Deepest Happiness: A Beginner's Guide to Mindfulness and a Workbook to Create Daily Rich-U-Alls for Optimal Well-Being! - Hardcover

by Larry John Barnhardt (Author)

America's founding fathers stated the pursuit of happiness is an unalienable right. But what is happiness and where is it to be found? In this age of consumerism, we are sucked into believing that happiness comes when we purchase a new car, new furniture, even laundry detergent. Knowing the Deepest Happiness is a beginner's guide into mindfulness based on the principles of ancient Buddhism, along with the science of modern-day positive psychology, and maps out practical ways of incorporating these principles into a daily ritual of mindfulness leading to optimal well-being. Happiness and sadness are opposite sides of the same coin. And in most cases, whether you pursue happiness or sadness is a choice. A choice you make every day of your life
