Introduction
Harvard professor Shahar is an Israeli who draws wisdom from both Eastern and Western sources to uncover ways of thinking that make us happier. As a result, this book contains both typically Western, tool-driven expressions as well as the profound ideas of Buddhist Zen.
Before reading this book, I was often tormented by the things around me and even distant goals, feeling that things would get better once the present moment had passed. After finishing it, I made peace with both myself and the world. I really wish I had read this book much earlier. You’re reading it at just the right time.
