Living happily is dependent on the quality of our inner life, and our inner life is largely based on habits. By training and changing these habits, in other words by acquiring inner skills, we can live with more serenity and peace of mind. This is an ancient idea, but somehow it repeatedly gets lost. The Lost Art of Being Happy shows how this idea is relevant, indeed vital, in our lives today. It also explains why the process of training the inner life by practicing these skills amounts to a form of spirituality, albeit one which doesn’t require a belief in anything supernatural.
