TRAIN YOUR MIND TOWARD LASTING CONNECTION AND JOY
Eager to share the life-enhancing benefits he found in Buddhism, skeptic Scott Snibbe presents this 8-step program that allows anyone to build positive mental habits. Inspired by the ancient Buddhist path to enlightenment yet firmly grounded in modern science, How to Train a Happy Mind is the first mainstream book to show how you can achieve happiness using analytical meditation. Working in much the same way as cognitive behavioral therapy, analytical meditation goes beyond the calm-inducing practice of mindfulness to actively train the brain through easy-to-follow narrative visualizations.
Breaking the path down into concise steps and written in a relatable tone with plenty of references to popular culture, this is the ideal book if you recognize your mind as both the source of your problems and the source of your solutions.

This book is a clear, well-lit path through the tangled thickets of psychological and spiritual ideas, tools, and adviceand it takes you directly to greater resilience, happiness, love and inner peace. Honest and helpful, this book is a gem.
