If you’ve ever wanted more long-term, genuine happiness, and
positivity in your life, then do we have the Blue Sky show for
you!
Today I’ll be talking with Zen Master Joseph Emet, who’s trained
under Thich Nhat Hanh, has a doctorate in Music from BU, and is the
author of Buddha’s Book of Sleep, along with several beautiful
others, and a new favorite mindfulness book of mine, Finding the
Blue Sky.
And that’s just what we’ll be talking about today, a mindful
approach to choosing happiness here and how.
That plus we’ll talk about practicing Laziness, a BEEing
meditation, becoming a professional smiler, the difference between
thinking and meditating, where in the world are the happiness
police, and why in the world you don’t want to keep poison ivy,
thorns or crabgrass in your house.
