True Happiness (Audiobook) (Repost)

A live audience at a monastery in Nova Scotia hears the author describe how anyone can cultivate satisfaction and contentment. To access our ultimate wisdom, she offers simple advice: Pursue what brings happiness and refrain from doing things that bring harm. Be kind to yourself--not by pampering or protecting yourself from life's harshness, but by always respecting and valuing yourself even when you screw up and have grief, heartbreak, or black moods. It's not easy advice to follow, but it's made more attainable by Chodron's warm and genuine speaking style. Her voice radiates enough kindness that almost any listener will feel supported and emotionally lifted. An immensely calming and therapeutic experience for anyone prone to self-criticism and doubting.
