About this listen
Get to know your own mind, stop judging, and be attentive - a Buddhist guide to happiness that's relevant to everyone.
East meets West in a fresh, modern take on a timeless challenge: how to find contentment and meaning in life. A longtime meditator and seasoned Silicon Valley entrepreneur meets a young, insightful, and traditionally educated Tibetan Rinpoche. Together, they present a path to radical happiness through accessible meditation and mindfulness techniques.
Following three parts, the authors guide listeners through basic happiness, interconnected happiness, and finally, radical happiness, with each section building on itself to form a complete program.
Filled with personal stories, scientific studies, and step-by-step exercises, this is the perfect introduction to meditation and Buddhist thought. It's a thoughtful exploration of modern science and ancient wisdom - there's no dumbing things down - yet it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Story
We all want to feel less anxiety, guilt, anger, and sadness. We want to obsess less and be less lonely, and free ourselves from our demons, compulsive habits, and stress. But as humans (unlike rocks), we experience all of these. And, paradoxically, trying to avoid and control them only makes things worse. Having struggled with serious mental illness for many years himself, Mark Freeman has become a dedicated mental-health advocate and coach. He makes the case that instead of trying to feel less and avoid pain and stress, we need to build emotional fitness, especially our capacity for strength, balance, and focus.

In The Secret Language of Cells, doctor and neuroscientist Jon Lieff lets us listen in on these conversations, and reveals their significance for everything from mental health to cancer.

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.
