Joyful Wisdom

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. ”
