Happiness Is An Inside Job: Practicing For A Joyful Life

Book Summary

How can we stay engaged with life day after day? How can we continue to love what we do year after year? How can we make lemonade when life gives us lemons? These are all questions best-selling author and beloved teacher Sylvia Boorstein asked herself when she started writing Happiness Is an Inside Job. The result is her best work to date, a warm, wise, and instructive book on how we can cultivate happiness even when the odds are against us. As Boorstein has discovered in over four decades of practice and teaching, the secret to happiness lies not in monastic solitude but in cultivating our connections with the world, with family, friends, colleagues, and even those we do not know well. In this beautiful book, she reminds us that our hearts want to console, appreciate, encourage, and love--and that restoring those qualities leads to a solidly grounded sense of happiness and the best way to live.
