Matthieu Ricard may be the happiest man on earth. He was born in France & became a biochemist, but left his life & career behind to become a Tibetan Buddhist Monk. Several years ago, he participated in a study in which his brain was scanned while he meditated on “peace.” They found that activity in his left prefrontal cortex was off the charts - 150% more than anyone they’d scanned before. And he could do it at will. Happiness, they found, is a skill.

Now Matthieu has written a book, Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill, in which he teaches us how to develop the skill of happiness.
