Dalai Lama: The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living

Every time you see him, he's laughing. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He's the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and a hugely sought-after speaker and statesman. If you ask him if he's happy, even after so much loss, the Dalai Lama will give you an unconditional yes. What's more, he'll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life and that the very motion of our life is toward happiness. How to get there has always been the question. The Art of Happiness is the book that started the genre of happiness books, and it remains the cornerstone of the field of positive psychology.

Matthew McConaughey: Greenlights: Listener Favorite

Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights is not a conventional memoir. As he neared age 50, the Oscar-winning actor revisited the journal he kept for 35 years to see what he could learn from it. Get Greenlights from Amazonhttps://geni.us/GreenLightsGet the summary via Blinkisthttps://blinkist.o6eiov.net/XxjAkyBecome a Moonshot Memberhttps://www.patreon.com/MoonshotsMatthew McConaughey describes a greenlight as a sign you should continue with what you are doing. You may believe these signs come from the universe, God, or by chance. All that matters is you pursue this greenlight when it emerges. “This is a book about how to catch more YESs in a world of NOs and how to recognize when a NO might actually be a YES. This is a book about catching green lights and realizing that the yellow and the reds eventually turn green.” – Matthew McConaughey Thanks to our monthly supporters Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Jason Kumagai Natalie Triman Kaur Ryan N.

Dan Harris: 10% Happier

Dan Harris the Author of 10% Happier and Nightline anchor embarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable. After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had both propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business and also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out. We all have a voice in our heads. It's what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we're not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us would assume we're stuck with this voice that there's nothing we can do to rein it in, but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that.10% Happier takes you on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America's spiritual scene and leaves you with a takeaway that could actually change your lives. What will you learn? How to deal with stress more effectively, mindfulness, and how to meditate. Thanks to our monthly supporters Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Jason Kumagai Natalie Triman Kaur Ryan N.

How David Goggins Broke the World Pull-up Record

Between the training and three attempts, Goggins did more than 67,000 pull-ups in nine months. But more than his physical endurance Goggins showcased the power of repetition. He tried three times to accomplish this goal Learning from each attempt Never accepting he couldn’t meet the challenge Not listening to the negative comments - that he didn’t have the physical strength to do itFour pull-ups an hour doesn’t seem like much. Over time, it becomes increasingly more challenging to the muscles, but increasingly more empowering to the mind.Small numbers grow through consistent repetition. Small numbers are boring and don’t seem useful in the grand scheme. But small numbers are a necessary step before getting to the large numbers.“You have to callus your mind to overcome your doubts and failures and keep moving forward.”  - David Goggins Thanks to our monthly supporters Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Jason Kumagai Natalie Triman Kaur Ryan N.
