A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill
A British television series called “The Happiness Formula” introduced Matthieu Ricard as the happy monk. The producers of the television series focused on the brain scans of Ricard because his scans showed unusually strong indicators of happiness. Interestingly, Ricard occasionally acts as a French translator for the Dalai Lama.
There is an excerpt of his book at this website. I read the chapter; it seems that Ricard is an excellent thinker. I do get the impression that Ricard has put a lot of thought into his theory of happiness. Right now this book is on my “to read” checklist.
By the way, I did see the BBC television series “The Happiness Formula” (all 6 episodes) and highly recommend it. The series serves as an excellent introduction the current thinking about happiness.
