About this listen
In this groundbreaking book, world-renowned Buddhist teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche invites us to join him in unlocking the secrets behind the practice of meditation. With an infectious joy and insatiable curiosity, he weaves together the principles of Tibetan Buddhism, neuroscience, and quantum physics in a way that will forever change the way we understand the human experience. Using the basic meditation practices he provides, we can discover paths through everyday problems, transforming obstacles into opportunities to recognize the unlimited potential of our own minds.
With an introduction by co-author Eric Swanson, The Joy of Living is a stunning breakthrough, an illuminating vision of the science of Buddhism and a handbook for transforming our minds, bodies, and lives.

Excellent audiobook
This book is absolutely brilliant: very important, deep teachings presented in a clear, very practical way. It is also very encouraging it makes you feel that these practices are within one’s reach and very worth while embarking on. As an audiobook is also brilliant the actor reads it very well: good pace, clear and engaging.

Life changing
The fact that I consider this book and its teachings before approaching many situations should tell you what you need to know about the brilliance of one of the few teachers/religions to truly appreciate how faith and science can work harmoniously

Brilliant book
I have read and listened to this book and even given a copy to my children and some friends. I think it contains fundamental information for living a peaceful, happy life in a realistic way. The evidence is produced for meditation in ways that are straightforward and easy to take on board. It is one of my 'lifetime best' books - cant recommend it highly enough.
