HOW TO TRAIN A HAPPY MIND by Scott Snibbe

Scott Snibbe perfectly describes his book as A Path for Buddhist Experts Adapted for Sceptical Beginners. A Buddhist himself, he has taken elements of the ancient path to enlightenment and presented only those that modern science and psychology can back up, thus shedding those pieces of the path that those new to both Buddhism and meditation may find difficult to accept or understand. However, what remains is still thoughtful and provides in-depth context as he takes us through his 8 stage programme designed to help us build positive mental habits and train the mind towards more helpful thought patterns. Each stage includes guided visualisations and other tools needed to reach the best version of ourselves by letting go of the problems that hold us back.
