The Complete Book On Equanimity And Peace

This is my heartfelt book on how I recovered my mind to return to a place of peace and equanimity. I discussed in detail how one's mind is the problem, and one's choosing to believe in negative thoughts which create suffering. I also explored the science of happiness and what makes people generally feel content. I also wrote at length about how I feel modern society in general creates an atmosphere where most people will feel miserable. Modern society, with its advertising machines, make people feel discontent, and create endless desires...where people generally feel they can never achieve enough or have enough to be happy. Society leads people away from the present moment, and thus makes people endure endless suffering. I explored different philosophies like Taoism, Stoicism, and Buddhism and how some of the lessons can help us learn to live our lives with more integrity and happiness. I hope this book can help others feel better.

This gift of silence doesn't require hours upon hours of silent meditation or an existing practice of any kind. Through careful breathing and mindfulness techniques he teaches us how to become truly present in the moment, to recognize the beauty surrounding us, and to find harmony. With mindfulness comes stillness—and the silence we need to come back to ourselves and discover who we are and what we truly want, the keys
