What is authentic happiness?This book demonstrates that long-lasting happiness depends on more than the grasping of positive attitudes, but on the wisdom gained by understanding the true nature of the mind and existence. It reveals that our search for happiness is in fact a quest for our true self.Drawing from his many years of observing young minds, training in introspection, and study of existential philosophy, Dr. Garcia offers new insights into the origin of our suffering, fears, and unhappiness. He shows how to release the self-restricting thoughts that limit our free will and disrupt our peace of mind. We learn how and why our actions and intentions affect our mind as much as that of others and as a result, learn to build wholesome relationships. He asserts that our humanity transcends the brain and genes, and that each person is a singular universe. It is by understanding the true nature of our existence, he explains, that we can find our way back to the peace of mind and authentic happiness we knew as children.
