Radically Happy: A User's Guide for the Mind

Written by Phakchok Rinpoche and Erric Solomon

Narrated by Juri Henley-Cohn

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 readers 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.

Rinpoche was recognized at a young age as the seventh Phakchok Rinpoché, an incarnation of a great teacher and meditation master. Receiving ordination from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Rinpoche received a thorough education and training in Buddhist philosophy and meditation, studying with some of the most accomplished masters of modern times, his main teachers being his grandfather Kyapjé Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and Kyapjé Nyoshul Khen Rinpoché. Rinpoché completed his education at the Dzongsar Institute of Advanced Buddhist Studies in Bir, India, where he received the Khenpo title. Rinpoche travels the world, teaching in Buddhist centers, universities, and monasteries from Asia to the US, from South America to Europe.
