About this product
Product Information
Living happily is dependant on the quality of our inner life, and our inner life is largely based on habits. By training and changing these habits, in other words by acquiring inner skills, we can live with more serenity and peace of mind. This is an ancient idea, but somehow it repeatedly gets lost. The Lost Art of Being Happy shows how this idea is relevant, indeed vital, in our lives today. It also explains why the process of training the inner life by practicing these skills amounts to a form of spirituality, albeit one which doesn't require a belief in anything supernatural. This is a wonderfully wise book on how we can train our minds to be happy. It's beautifully written Prof. Lord Layard, Director - Well Being Programme, LSE. I cannot think of a single human being who would not benefit from reading this highly intelligent, sympathetic book. Most of us are unhappy to some degree or other. Follow the way of life that this book recommends and happiness will be yours Dr Anthony Sheldon, Master of Wellington College. This is an important and original book. Tony Wilkinson brings a wealth of experience, a keen intelligence and an enquiring mind to the thorny and complex issue of contemporary spirituality. It is a must read for anyone interested in self-knowledge Malcolm Stern, psychotherapist, author and Channel 4 presenter. Arguing that spirituality is not about religion but about living happily, this guidebook offers advice on the skills of the inner life - the mind and emotions - that are needed for a life of gladness. This examination discusses the requirements for happiness, explores their nature and shows that mastering a set of five of them leads to bliss. The exercises in this resource are offered to spiritual seekers as a path towards happiness and emphasise that personal elation is not caused by external events, but by mastering the skills of the inner life. This book shows how spirituality should be a vital human concern regardless of beliefs about the supernatural. Starting from the simple idea that everyone wants to live happily, it offers a powerful theory that supports many spiritual and self-development practices. In the five skills, it offers a pragmatic and flexible way to live spiritually allowing each person to develop a practice that suits their own needs. The book focuses on the idea of generating skills of the inner life rather than virtues or merit. This is a profound shift of paradigm, which removes moral anxiety and grounds both spirituality and ethical living in a fundamental choice to live happily.
