Is there an art to happiness?

This week I discuss a Pinky update and a few breakthrough realizations. I discuss a few great takeaways from the book A Handbook for Living The Art of Happiness by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler, M.D. and dipping a toe into The Gene Keys by Richard Rudd.

"The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living" is a book co-authored by the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, and psychiatrist Howard C. Cutler. It explores the Dalai Lama's perspective on happiness and guides how to cultivate a happier and more fulfilling life. Buy The Book on Amazonhttps://geni.us/DalaiLamaGet the summary via Blinkisthttps://blinkist.o6eiov.net/WDe3vMBecome a Moonshot Memberhttps://www.patreon.com/MoonshotsHere is a summary of some key themes discussed in the book:1. Understanding Happiness: The Dalai Lama emphasizes that true happiness comes from within and is not dependent on external circumstances. He explores the concept of happiness as a state of mind and suggests that cultivating positive mental states, such as compassion and altruism, is essential for lasting happiness.2. The Mind: The book delves into the power of the mind and its role in shaping our experiences. The Dalai Lama encourages individuals to develop a disciplined and focused mind through practices like meditation. By cultivating mental clarity and emotional balance, we can better navigate life's challenges and foster happiness.3. Compassion and Kindness: The Dalai Lama emphasizes cultivating compassion and kindness towards oneself and others. He believes genuine happiness is closely linked to our ability to empathize with and care for others. By practicing compassion, forgiveness, and altruism, we can enhance our well-being and contribute to the well-being of others.4. Dealing with Negative Emotions: The book explores strategies for managing negative emotions like anger, fear, and anxiety. The Dalai Lama suggests that cultivating self-awareness and understanding the root causes of these emotions can help transform them into positive states of mind. He also advocates a balanced approach to dealing with negative emotions, avoiding suppression and indulgence.5. Cultivating Inner Peace: The Dalai Lama shares insights on how to find inner peace in a fast-paced and chaotic world. He suggests that developing a sense of contentment, simplifying one's life, and letting go of attachment to material possessions can contribute to inner peace and tranquility.6. Mindful Relationships: The book explores the importance of nurturing healthy and meaningful relationships. The Dalai Lama emphasizes the value of love, compassion, and open communication in building and maintaining strong connections with others. He also highlights the significance of empathy and understanding in fostering harmonious relationships.7. Balancing Materialism and Spirituality: The Dalai Lama discusses the challenges of balancing materialistic pursuits and spiritual values in modern society. He encourages individuals to prioritize inner values, such as compassion and ethical conduct, over external achievements and possessions. We can find deeper meaning and fulfillment in life by cultivating a sense of purpose beyond material gain."The Art of Happiness" offers practical wisdom and insights from the Dalai Lama's teachings, blending Eastern spiritual traditions with Western psychology.

From the art of happiness back cover. I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes i this religion or that religion, we allare seeking something better on life. So I think the very motion of our life is towards happiness. If you maintain a feeling of compassion, loving kindness, then something automatically opens your inner door. Through that, you can communicate more easily with other people. And that feeling of warmth creates a kind of openness. You'll find that all human beings are just like you, so you'll be able to relate to them more easily. That gives you a spirit of friendship. Then there's less need to hide things, and as a result, feelings of fear, self-doubt, and insecurity are automatically dispelled. In our daily lives problems are bound to arise. The biggest problems in our lives are the ones we inevitably have to face, like old age, illness and death. Trying to avoid our problems or simply not thinking about them may provide temporary relief, but i think that there is a better approach. If you directly confront your suffering, you will be in a better position to appreciate the depth and nature of the problem. If you are in a battle, as long as you remain ignorant of the status and combat capability of your enemy, you will be totally unprepared and paralyzed by fear. However, if you know the fighting capability of your opponents, what sort of weapons they have and so on, then your in a much better position when you engage in war. In the same way, if you confront your problems rather than avoid them, you will be in a betterposition to deal with them. Riverhead books. A member of Penguin Putnam Inc.

Local Managing Broker Dawn Dunavant joins Bobbi and Alex on Zoom to talk about what she and her agents have learned during this time of social distancing. Bobbi's Book Bit: The Art of Happiness by the 14th Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler

Having recently spent three days in absolute silence, I ended up reading a lot of books. One of which was The Art of Happiness, by the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler, M.D. In the book, the Dalai Lama shares how, ultimately, we all have the same goal: the pursuit of happiness. And though it may sound really simple to achieve happiness… it can get complicated, fast.   In today’s episode, I want to focus in on a specific part of the conversation around happiness,  and that is this blurred line between happiness vs. pleasure. A lot of people confuse the two, and oftentimes, end up sacrificing their long-term happiness for their short-term pleasure — especially in relation to addiction. In this episode, I’m breaking down the key components that you need to know regarding happiness vs. pleasure and how you can trick your brain into focusing on long-term happiness rather than short-term pleasure.   IGNTD Specials: Free IGNTD Recovery Workshop 14 Days Free of IGNTD Live Online Groups Family SOS Program IGNTD Hero Nohab Program   Topics Discussed: [:35] About the reading I did during my silent retreat.

Season 6 of The Simple Sophisticate is well underway as 2019 wraps up and we head into 2020. As I reflect back to September 2014 when the show premiered, I could not have fathomed the engagement it would inspire, the topics and books we would cover and explore nor the people who would wish to be on the show. This year, Apple changed its categories for podcasts, and in so doing prompted me to reconsider how to label the show for new and potential listeners, which turned out to be a boon for the show and new listeners discovering it. With the help of you, the listeners the podcast and readers of TSLL, the selections that were decided upon (#1— Education: Self-Improvement; #2 — Society & Culture; #3 — Leisure: Home & Garden) in no small part contributed to the podcast reaching #33 in the United States' ALL-Time Self-Improvement podcasts. And, as the podcast has a strong Francophile following, when episode #269 - 32 Ways to Be Parisian Chic went live earlier this month, the podcast soared to #5 for the daily Self-Improvement podcasts. As listeners share how and when they listen to the show — while running the NYC marathon, while spring cleaning, while starting the day in Australia, while commuting via car or train or subway, while walking/running with their pups, while strolling along a river in the European countryside, while strolling through a park throughout the vast United States, while winding down at the end of the day in a cozy abode in Canada, and in so many countries around the globe as listeners go about their lives (the show ranked #16 in South Africa, #12 in Hong Kong, #23 in Romania, #6 in Oman, and #2 in Spain!) — I am humbled as well as tickled to realize how TSLL community stretches far and wide, but more so how similiar we are no matter where we call home regarding our interests to live a life of contentment, a life of deep joy and understanding of the world around us as we strive to contribute positively to its future as we savor the everyday moments. How to rankings work? The combination of number of downloads and positive reviews and rankings drive up a show on the charts, and for both of these contributions by listeners, I want to say thank you. So many of you have left positive reviews and high rankings, and as I try to share all of the reviews, sprinkling a few in each podcast episode, thank you for your time to share specifically what draws you to the show.

"In bringing about genuine inner transformation and change, the Dalai Lama emphasizes the importance of making a sustained effort. It is a gradual process." —The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living by The Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler, M.D. The resolutions whether you have concretely written them down or potential ideas of what you wish could improve in this new year are dancing about in your mind, are being considered because you recognize growth that you'd like to see in yourself and in your way of living. In redoing my office space this past weekend, I was reintroduced to The Art of Happiness - a book that I purchased in 1999, read with eager curiosity, and only now is able to more deeply understand what was written. Much of what is shared reinforces what the art of living well consists of - a better understanding of one's mind, as well as one's self, giving yourself permission to delve into your emotions, becoming comfortable with letting go of attachment, and being willing to have patience, put forth great effort. Also, becoming conscious of how society and the culture each of us resides influences us and our ways of living that we may not be fully aware. In chapter 12, the subject focuses on "Bringing About Change", and the three components of success and lasting change are determination, effort and time. A reminder of this truth is apropos this time of year, but truthfully at any time of the year when we choose to make an improvement, and especially when we think the change is impossible or becomes too difficult. On the subject of the change we seek being difficult to attain, the Dalai Lama was asked the following question by Dr. Howard C. Cutler, "People often want to make positive changes in their lives, engage in healthier behaviors, and so on. But sometimes there just seems to be a sort of inertia or resistance . . . How would you explain how that occurs?" The Dalai Lama responds, "That's quite easy . . . It's because we simply become habituated or accustomed to doing things in certain ways. And then, we become sort of spoiled, doing only the things that we like to do, that we are used to doing." When asked how can a person overcome this, he responds, "By using habituation to our advantage. Through constant familiarity, we can definitely establish new behavior patterns . . . by making a steady effort, I think we can overcome any form of negative conditioning and make positive changes in our lives. But you still need to realize that genuine change doesn't happen overnight." Being realistic is certainly a good idea when it comes to setting goals and making resolutions, but we also should not be afraid of making significant change even if we aren't sure how long it will take. If new year's resolutions revolve around the theme of losing weight, refrain from the quick fixes and instead cultivate a healthy and enjoyable way of living. This includes not only diet, but exercise and a balanced daily life that does not leave you exhausted and chronically stressed. Look at the habits that are helpful and be honest about the unhelpful defaults. If new year's resolutions have to do with completing a significant project or task, be realistic about your schedule and prioritize and perhaps eliminate other activities or responsibilities in order to give your best effort. Today is the day when we set an intention, but the immediate next step once we have outlined the journey to arrive at our desired destination, is to put into action the activities, new habits and mindset we need to be successful. And since we're on the topic of success, educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom "examined the lives of some of America's most accomplished artists, athletes and scientists. He discovered that drive and determination, not great natural talent, led to the success in their respective fields." In other words, be persistent, when it becomes difficult, read my New Year's 2018 post and recite Marie Forleo's saying, "And this is what I want".
