The Revolutionary Art of Happiness

Synopsis:

Throughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and find a greater sense of connection with others. Our fear of intimacy--both with others and with ourselves--creates feelings of pain and longing. But these feelings can also awaken in us the desire for freedom and the willingness to take up the spiritual path. In this inspiring book, Salzberg shows how the Buddhist path can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each one of us.

Reviews:

One of my all-time favorite books!!

Reviewer: A reader from US

Lovingkindness : The Revolutionary Art of Happiness by Sharon Salzberg is by far one of the best books ever written. And contrary to what others have said in their reviews, I believe that this book can be read by anyone. If meditation makes you uncomfortable, thing of it as a positive affirmation. Ms. Salzberg teaches us how to appreciate life and those around us. It really is a great book: one of three that I always keep by my bedside and refer to frequently! I highly, highly recommend it!!

Amazingly eye opening

This is one of the few books I would actually read over and over. It's incredibly down-to-earth and is full of great quotes you keep in mind all day long. It invites you to think about your perception of yourself and others in a very different light. There is so much common sense in the buddhist way of relating to each other, but we don't often use our common sense.

Reading this book will help heal your heart and soul.

Practice compassion, and heal the Earth. Kindness is the balm of Gilead, the salve of sadhus, the alchemy of avatars. Practicing loving kindness (and compassion) is so basic that it bypasses most of us. We often just don't "get" it, and then cause pain and suffering for ourselves and others.

Send love and compassion and kindness to all through prayer and meditation. The Earth will change in response. Guaranteed!!

A mind expansive journey that is truly Amazing!

Reading this book forces the reader to embark upon a journey of opening the mind, and the heart (if there is a real difference). A Journey that questions the conditioned states many of us have become used to as our reality. With a mastery of deep understanding and humility, Sharon Salzberg gives people one of the most important gifts in the world. It is something most of us just seek unconsciously. It is something that we donít usually remain aware of in our every day life, but we all would be willing to do anything to ìgetî it. It is happiness.
