His first book, How to Train a Happy Mind, was released in 2024. Keep up with Scott on his website. “The Buddhist view on happiness is really the reality view on happiness. The better word might be satisfaction, contentment, or well-being. It is not the temporary things like having an ice-cream cone, or a nice walk, or someone kiss-you, which are all lovely. That’s a pleasure. It doesn’t last. Happiness really can be long-lasting.” – Scott Snibbe ================ How to Train a Happy Mind with Scott Snibbe & Raghu Markus – Mindrolling Pocast Ep. 552 - https://youtu.be/-FrN1JvXDO8 Raghu Markus – Mindrolling – Ep. 552 – How to Train a Happy Mind with Scott Snibbe - https://beherenownetwork.com/https://beherenownetwork.com/raghu-markus-mindrolling-ep-552-how-to-train-a-happy-mind-with-scott-snibbe/ ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
