Zen Buddhist monk Gensho Taigu teaches that true happiness doesn't depend on changing the world around us—it depends on transforming what's inside us. In this clear and life-changing guide, he shares how a handful of timeless Buddhist principles can help us ease anxiety, quiet restless desires, and open our hearts to joy.

• Stop worrying over things you cannot control
• Fill your heart with gratitude, compassion, and "good things"
• Build calm and resilience that lasts beyond temporary ups and downs
