About this listen

 Yongey Mingyur is one of the most celebrated among the new generation of Tibetan meditation masters, whose teachings have touched people of all faiths around the world.

His new audiobook, Joyful Wisdom, addresses the timely and timeless problem of anxiety. “From the 2,500-year-old perspective of Buddhism,” Yongey Mingyur writes, “every chapter in human history could be described as an ‘age of anxiety.’ The anxiety we feel now has been part of the human condition for centuries.” So what do we do? Escape or succumb? “Buddhism,” he says, “offers a third option. We can look directly at the disturbing emotions and other problems we experience in our lives as stepping-stones to freedom. Instead of rejecting them or surrendering to them, we can befriend them, working through them to reach an enduring authentic experience of our inherent wisdom, confidence, clarity, and joy.”

Divided into three parts like a traditional Buddhist text, Joyful Wisdom identifies the sources of our unease, describes methods of meditation that enable us to transform our experience into deeper insight, and applies these methods to common emotional, physical, and personal problems.©2009 Yongey Mingyur; (P)2009 Random House Alternative & Complementary Medicine Buddhism Meditation Spirituality Emotions Wisdom

This book is for anyone who wants to live a happy life. I'm a translator and I read it as my work. However, while reading the book I understood that there's many things that we may forget in our life. This makes life uneasy for us. So if we live with our consciousness and enjoy the joy of our life, we realize that life is more valuable than we thought.

Thanks a lot for a very good book writing by a very good author.

A book for your life

the "translated by..." that is read after every quote is very annoying
maybe it would be great in the book and not the audiobook.
