Happiness is a state of mind by His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa

Happiness is a state of mind book :)

I found this within the shelf at Bishan library many weeks ago. The happiness book. Well, there were many of those written and spread out all over the world right?

But this one, it was written by His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa, the spiritual Head of Drukpa Lineage, who was also an active environmentalist and educator.

Read the excepts attached here and you would understand why I loved this book so much!

Secret to a joyful life :)

This book had accompanied me through my darkest days, when I felt helpless, no hope, and felt like giving up.

Where is the real happiness???

This book had worked on me as if it could read my mind, when it was engulfed with so much fear and worry.

Free to be happy! Anywhere, anytime! :)

This book had helped me opening up my mind and reminding me always that the happiness was always here inside everyone of us, and it was up to us whether we were strong enough to let it appear and fill our heart with it.

Share happiness reminders! 

At the end of some chapters, there would be some reminders to practise what I'd read.

Random act of happiness ^^

And my favorite was the above! ;) So, let you decide if this was the book that you were looking for to help you going through your weary mind and soul. It's all written in simple and easy language. So, wish you all a wonderful day! Hope everything goes well and smooth in everything that you do! Take care readers and all the best in finding your happiness within! :)
