What can a monk tell us about finding happiness in our complicated modern world? A surprising amount, is the answer
Sunday Times

Why is 'being happy' such an imperative nowadays? What meaning do people give happiness?

Abbot Christopher turns to monastic wisdom to offer answers, and to explain that in essence, happiness is a gift, not an achievement, the fruit of giving and receiving blessings.

Blending self help and spirituality, Christopher examines different aspects of happiness, telling us what monastic wisdom has to say about them, and offers us steps towards our own journey to finding happiness.
