Reviews

Thubten is a very generous and kind monk who writes with the lived honesty and humour of someone who has experienced the wisdom he shares. His writing is full of inspiration but also the pragmatism needed to form a sustainable practice. His book clearly illustrates why we all need meditation and mindfulness in our lives.
*Benedict Cumberbatch*

Gelong Thubten's book is as warm, wise and generous as the man himself. We've never needed a voice like his more.
*The Times*

Compelling to read, yet full of profound wisdom, this wonderful book rationally describes how our mind functions and how we can cultivate the habit of happiness.
*Professor Lokesh Joshi, Vice President for Research, National University of Ireland*

Thubten is able to explain meditation using clear language and an approach which really speaks to our modern tech-infused lives. With openness, humility and humour he delivers a deep message that will resonate in our modern culture.
*Rami Jawhar, Program Manager at Google Arts & Culture*

Gelong Thubten's wonderful book provides a bracing challenge to our search for instant gratification and "instant" happiness, and a lucid, practical, step-by-step path to contentment and a genuine and lasting peace of mind.
*Journalist for The Daily Telegraph*
