Summary

What does happiness mean to us? Where does it come from? Can we really decide to be happy?

Happiness is the one thing that everyone always seems to be chasing after, whether through the acquisition of wealth or cultivation of relationships or practicing of faith. We spend our lives searching for that one thing we think will finally make us happy; that promotion at work, those amazing shoes, buying the perfect home. But is happiness something deeper than that, more fundamental? How can this deeper happiness be achieved?

His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa explains that happiness isn’t a prize to be won, especially through tangible means—rather, it’s the very essence of each of us, and already dwells within our minds. The trick, of course, is that it’s entirely up to us whether we choose to adopt a perspective that allows us to be happy even in difficult times, or a perspective that focuses instead on our suffering. Exploring the simple ways we can train our minds to recognize a happiness that is already there, he gives us the tools to calm anxiety, let go of expectations and embrace an appreciation for life as it is, rather than force it to be as we feel it should be.

Happiness is a State of Mind offers insights and practical tools—advice on meditation, exercises in practicing gratitude, and guidance on changing deeply ingrained negative thought patterns that may prevent people from recognizing that all the happiness they need is already within them.
