Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The well of happiness and joy lies within each of us, and we can access it by shifting our attention away from the content of our awareness and toward awareness itself. It's not something separate from us; it's us.

#2 The games in this section are not like Olympic Games or board games with winners and losers. They are not about game theorists or competitive players. They are about sidestepping the ways the mind sorts the outside world and instead pointing it within to find its source.

#3 The well of joy within you is not something with correct answers, set rules, and reproducible steps. It is something that must be discovered through experimentation.

#4 I had experienced a lot of fear, anxiety, inhibition, and depression, and I was determined to find an alternative to suffering. I had had enough glimpses of natural happiness to know what I was looking for.
