The Ultimate Happiness Prescription
About This Book
Seven keys to joy and enlightenment — distilling Chopra's decades of writing and teaching into a concise, practical guide to the cultivation of genuine happiness. Each key addresses a different obstacle to happiness (physical suffering, reactive emotions, limiting beliefs, relationship difficulties, meaninglessness, impermanence, and the ultimate challenge of mortality) and offers a specific Vedantic and scientific perspective for transforming it from an obstacle into an opportunity for deepening awareness.
What You'll Learn
The happiness that most people seek — the satisfaction of desires and the avoidance of pain — is not genuine happiness but pleasure, which is by nature temporary and dependent on conditions that are outside one's control. Genuine happiness is a quality of consciousness rather than a feeling — it is what Vedanta calls Ananda (bliss), the natural state of the deepest self when it is recognized as distinct from the surface fluctuations of the mind. The seven keys Chopra offers are not techniques for acquiring happiness from the outside but practices for removing the specific obstacles that prevent the recognition of the happiness that is already present at the level of the deepest self.
