Destiny: Scott Snibbe, How to Train a Happy Mind

from Earth Ancients · host Cliff Dunning

TRAIN YOUR MIND TOWARD LASTING CONNECTION AND JOYEager to share the life-enhancing benefits he found in Buddhism, skeptic Scott Snibbe presents this 8-step programme that allows anyone to build positive mental habits. Inspired by the ancient Buddhist path to enlightenment yet firmly grounded in modern science, How to Train a Happy Mind is the first mainstream book to show how you can achieve happiness using analytical meditation. Working in much the same way as cognitive behavioural therapy, analytical meditation goes beyond the calm-inducing practice of mindfulness to actively train the brain through easy-to-follow narrative visualizations.Breaking the path down into concise steps and written in a relatable tone with plenty of references to popular culture, this is the ideal book if you recognize your mind as both the source of your problems and the source of your solutions.Scott Snibbe is a twenty-five-year student of Tibetan Buddhism whose teachers include Geshe Ngawang Dakpa, Choden Rinpoche, Ven. Rene Feusi, Ven. Sangye Khadro, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Inspired by his teachers, he leads meditations that infuse the pure lineage of the great Buddhist masters with science, humor, and the realities of the modern world.Snibbe is the co-founder and Executive Director of A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment, a nonprofit organization dedicated to sharing secular forms of Tibetan Buddhist analytical meditation through its podcast, community, and meditation courses. He leads classes and retreats worldwide.https://www.snibbe.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
