The Buddhist master brings together ancient wisdom learned throughout his life and on his four-year wandering retreat, with innovative meditation techniques for a more enlightened and happier life.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was born in the Himalayan border regions
between Tibet and Nepal. His book, The Joy of Living: Unlocking the
Secret and Science of Happiness, debuted on the New York Times
bestseller list and has been translated into over twenty languages.
In early June, 2011, Mingyur Rinpoche walked out of his monastery
in Bodhgaya, India and began a 'wandering retreat' that lasted four
and a half years.
Helen Tworkov is the founder of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review and
author of Zen in America: Profiles of Five Teachers. She has
studied in both the Zen and Tibetan traditions. She began studying
with Mingyur Rinpoche in 2006 and worked with him on Turning
Confusion into Clarity, A Guide to the Foundation Practice of
Tibetan Buddhism.
One of the most generous, beautiful, and essential books I’ve ever
read – thoroughly engaging, so clear, so honest, so courageous and
full of wisdom. This book has the potential to change the reader’s
life forever.
*George Saunders, Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in
the Bardo*
I loved this book. It is moving and inspiring, profound and utterly
human. It will certainly be a classic. Mingyur’s life-changing
adventure carries us with him and teaches us how to find the
unshakable heart amidst it all.
*Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart *
One of the most inspiring books I have ever read.
*Pema Chödrön, author of When Things Fall Apart*
One of the most inspiring books of our times. An extraordinary
testimony and a profound teaching that keeps you reading with
wonderment, page after page.
*Matthieu Ricard, author of Happiness: A Guide to
Developing Life’s Most Important Skill and Altruism:
The Power of Compassion to Change Yourself and the
World*
This is an extraordinary book. A gripping narrative of how the
process of dying, letting go of our fixed selves and constraining
habits, can liberate the human spirit and promote flourishing, this
book has something profoundly important to teach each of us.
*Richard J. Davidson, best-selling author of Emotional Life
of Your Brain, co-author of Altered Traits, and Founder
and Director, Center for Healthy Minds, University of
Wisconsin-Madison*
In this vivid, compelling account, Mingyur Rinpoche reveals his own
struggle and awakening as he faces the loss of worldly identity and
the threat of dying itself. This book is a rarity in spiritual
literature: Reading the intimate story of this wise and devoted
Buddhist monk directly infuses our own transformational journey
with fresh meaning, luminosity and life.
*Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and True
Refuge*
This book will change many lives.
*Tara Bennett-Goleman, author of Emotional
Alchemy*
This artfully told spiritual adventure casts a spell—you can’t put
it down, and you don’t want it to end. I recommend it without
reservation: I bet you’ll love it, too.
*Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional
Intelligence*
In his book, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche gifts us with more than just a
mesmerizing read. As Rinpoche narrates his spiritual journey, he
lays bare his early hopes and aspirations, his doubts, indignities,
bodily and emotional suffering, and his vulnerabilities. He offers
these with great skill, clarity, and love to encourage and inspire
us to travel our own spiritual journeys.
*Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real
Love*
A rollicking travelogue...this slim book also moved me, and left me
with a better appreciation of Tibetan Buddhism than so many
weightier tomes that I’ve struggled to understand.
*Barbara Demick, Baillie Gifford award-winning author of
Nothing to Envy*
