Overview
What if the path to lasting happiness begins not with escaping reality, but with seeing it more clearly?
In this joyful and provocative guide to Buddhist wisdom, renowned Tibetan Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman invites readers to discover the Buddha's teachings not as religious doctrine, but as a practical education in understanding ourselves, our minds, and the world around us.
At the heart of Wisdom Is Bliss are the Buddha's Four Noble Truths—which Thurman playfully reframes as 4 “friendly facts”—and the Noble Eightfold Path. Through his distinctive approach to “realistic” worldview, motivation, speech, action, livelihood, creative effort, mindfulness, and meditation, he shows how greater wisdom can help us meet suffering, loosen our habitual ways of thinking, deepen our compassion, and discover more freedom and joy in everyday life.
Scholarly yet exuberant, irreverent, and deeply encouraging, Wisdom Is Bliss brings ancient Tibetan Buddhist philosophy into conversation with modern life. Get ready to get real—and discover why wisdom and lasting happiness may be far more closely connected than you ever imagined.
