  "description": "A jewel of a book Guardian His guidance is spot on. Heaven knows, most of us need all the peace we can get Daily Express 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. 'Anyone who enjoyed the surprise hit television series The Monastery should be delighted with Christopher Jamison's book' Sunday Telegraph 'Lucid and insightful... Friendly, clever and original' Tablet 'Generous with his insights, but never self-righteous, smug or preachy. I felt better for meeting him' Judy Finnigan",
