Genuine well-being is not expensive. True happiness is not about acquiring anything, but rather about opening to the natural joy and aliveness right inside you. Baraz and Alexander show readers how to find happiness by training their mind to learn new ways of thinking. Much of the material includes Buddhist philosophy drawn from Baraz's years as a Buddhist meditation teacher and spiritual counselor.
