 Mingyur Rinpoche is well known among the new generation of Tibetan meditation masters whose teachings have touched people around the world.  His first book, The Joy of Living, was a New York Times bestseller praised by Richard Gere and Lou Reed for its clarity and wit.  His new book, Joyful Wisdom, addresses a timely and timeless problem—anxiety in our everyday lives.  “From the 2,500-year-old perspective of Buddhism,” Mingyur Rinpoche writes, “every chapter of human history could be described as an 'age of anxiety. ' The anxiety we feel now has been part of the human condition for centuries. ” So what do we do? Escape or succumb? Both routes inevitably lead to complications and problems in our lives.  “Buddhism offers a third option. ”
