WHAT IS HAPPINESS: A KOREAN MONKS GUIDE TO LIFE (HB)

Many things seem to prevent us from being happy. It could be unfulfilled goals, bad habits, a society built to benefit the already privileged, or loops of self-deprecation. With his simple yet profound teachings, Korean Buddhist monk Pomnyun Sunim shows us how to combat day-to-day anxiety, insecurity, anger and discouragement, exploring why human beings are prone to self-destruction, and redirects our focus to finding happiness, whatever our situation. He is not only a guiding zen master, but also a social activist who leads various movements such as an ecological awareness campaign, promotion of human rights and world peace, and eradication of famine, disease, and illiteracy in Korea.
