About This Book
Yongey Mingyur is one of the most celebrated among the new generation of
Tibetan meditation masters, whose teachings have touched people of all
faiths around the world. His first book, The Joy of Living, was a New
York Times bestseller hailed as "compelling, readable, and informed" (Buddhadharma)
and praised by Richard Gere, Lou Reed, and Julian Schnabel for its
clarity, wit, and unique insight into the relationship between science
and Buddhism.
His new book, Joyful Wisdom, addresses the timely and timeless problem
of anxiety in our everyday lives. "From the 2,500-year-old perspective
of Buddhism," Yongey Mingyur writes, "every chapter in human history
could be described as an ‘age of anxiety.’ The anxiety we feel now has
been part of the human condition for centuries." So what do we do?
Escape or succumb? Both routes inevitably lead to more complications and
problems in our lives. "Buddhism," he says, "offers a third option. We
can look directly at the disturbing emotions and other problems we
experience in our lives as stepping-stones to freedom. Instead of
rejecting them or surrendering to them, we can befriend them, working
through them to reach an enduring authentic experience of our inherent
wisdom, confidence, clarity, and joy."
Divided into three parts like a traditional Buddhist text, Joyful Wisdom
identifies the sources of our unease, describes methods of meditation
that enable us to transform our experience into deeper insight, and
applies these methods to common emotional, physical, and personal
problems. The result is a work at once wise, anecdotal, funny, informed,
and graced with the author’s irresistible charm.
"Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, the Tibetan Buddhist master of
mind-over-matter and co-author of the best-selling The Joy of
Living...recommends Buddhism’s cheerful, non-alarmist, big-picture
approach to life’s obstacles as a prescription for contemporary
troubles."
--"Paper Cuts" blog, NewYorkTimes.com
"[Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche] has written an unusually lucid and graceful
addition to the modern canon….The exceptionally clear descriptions
combined with Mingyur’s compassion and gentle wisdom make this book a
valuable guide to Buddhist practice."
--Publishers Weekly
"Talking to Mingyur Rinpoche is like sipping chamomile tea. He has spent
a lifetime cultivating calm. But, as a child, he says, he was plagued by
nearly debilitating anxiety attacks. He moved beyond them, not by trying
to be the master of this problem or by becoming its slave. He made
friends with the problem. This is a third approach to adversity and one
that Americans rarely consider."
