About this listen
Charles - a CEO at the peak of his career, successful but unhappy, caught in his hamster wheel of fortune.
Antonio - an entrepreneur constantly starting new ventures, but unsure of his long-term future.
Toby - a tourist trying to escape from a life that was not his own and break his cycle of bad luck.
A chance encounter between these three disparate characters and the monk becomes the turning point in their lives. They embark on a journey of self-reflection, reprioritize their lives, and take a different route to happiness while enjoying the pursuit of material success.
But this story is just a parable for what we can all achieve in our lives. Too many people today are preoccupied with work and have little time for their family and friends and even less time for themselves. They tell themselves they are doing this so that they can reap the fruits of their labor, relax, and be happy in the future. But what if today was their future? When, then, will they be happy?
Author Alex Butt invites you to take a leaf from this audiobook and ask yourself, “Are you content and happy with your life?”
Just like these three characters, you, too, can apply the simple truths contained in this tale, redefine your own path to contentment, and discover a balance between success and happiness.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

Most of us believe that we will finally feel satisfied and content with our lives when we get the good news we have been waiting for, find a healthy relationship, or achieve one of our personal goals. However, this rarely happens. Good fortune is often followed by negative emotions that overtake us and result in destructive behaviors.

Jack Valentine seemed to have it all. He made good money as an ad man and looked good doing it. He had a hot apartment, cool friends, even a slick car - at least until the hectic Monday morning a truck smashed into it, sending the critically injured Jack to the hospital. Everything happens for a reason, though, and Jack’s reason reveals itself in the silver-haired cancer patient who becomes his roommate one evening. The elderly man, Cal, shares his life story - one not dissimilar to Jack’s - of material wealth masking a gaping hole within.

Useful Belief turns the "be positive" industry upside down with a fresh and modern approach to achievement. Sometimes things in life are not positive. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. If you've had a nightmare of a year, the last thing you want to hear is "Be positive!" Instead, you need an actual strategy to dig yourself out and a truly useful guidebook to show you where to go next. This is that guidebook.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 303
Jack Valentine seemed to have it all. He made good money as an ad man and looked good doing it. He had a hot apartment, cool friends, even a slick car - at least until the hectic Monday morning a truck smashed into it, sending the critically injured Jack to the hospital. Everything happens for a reason, though, and Jack’s reason reveals itself in the silver-haired cancer patient who becomes his roommate one evening. The elderly man, Cal, shares his life story - one not dissimilar to Jack’s - of material wealth masking a gaping hole within.

As the Dalai Lama says, "Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are."

The question "What do I want to do with my life?" is more difficult to answer for today's 20-somethings than it was for their parents - not only do today's jobs look different, but career paths are altogether less of a sure thing. It's in this modern context that Lodro Rinzler provides Generation Y with wisdom for approaching the whole issue of livelihood - not only how to find work, but how to bring compassion and meaning into the job once you’ve got it. It’s wisdom from the Buddhist tradition that works for anyone.

If every therapist and psychotherapist on the planet could repeat this to their clients, like a mantra, again and again, there would be fewer therapists and psychotherapists. Because it works. Very quickly. Realising that what you're worrying about and stressing over doesn't really matter so much in the grand scheme of things is the door to freedom and healing. And the little profanity 'F**k It' is the key to that door.

Great reminder to re-define How to be Happy
We are often too busy doing things, working, dreaming of big ideas and pursuing goals. This book created a "Pause" button to the rhythm of my life. Each time I read a chapter, my world froze allowing me to reflect on the dialogues. One personal take-away was the concept to sort my Life's Inventory in order to prioritise what matters most to me. The dialogue between the CEO and the Monk on Contentment changed my own definition and re-inspired me push myself to my potential by not comparing and competing, as competition leads to unhappiness. There were various dialogues which brought me into the inner minds of the characters that reminded me of my own journey. I really liked the chapter where the Monk lead them into meditation to discover loving kindness. I recommend this book for many of us caught in the cycle of life and occasionally struggling to balance personal purpose with material success.

What a great way to learn about mindfulness!
Alex Butt has written a really insightful book that is both instructive as well as entertaining. His interesting blend of characters brings meditation & its benefits to life, from a business, family & personal perspective. An insider’s view of the practice of Buddhism. Scott Pollak does a great job of animating all the characters.
