Through decades of Buddhist practice and teaching, Boorstein has discovered that the secret to happiness lies not in monastic solitude but in cultivating our connections with the world.
Annotation: Sylvia Boorstein acknowledges the challenges of everyday living that may seem to get in the way of the peace we often expect from a spiritual practice such as Buddhism. She offers support and practical advice, along with stories from herself and others, that are intended to help us develop our inner lives through an interest in and compassion for others. Without being preachy, Boorstein shows how a positive outlook can help bring the enlightenment and peace of mind we seek. HAPPINESS IS AN INSIDE JOB draws on Boorstein's work at the Insight Meditation Center in Massachusetts and her background as a psychotherapist.
