Gozo al instante: El arte de descubrir la felicidad interi
About this ebook
En este libro, Chade-Meng Tan nos muestra que no necesitamos meditar durante días, meses o años para lograr un gozo permanente. De hecho, podemos lograr un acceso constante, en tan solo quince segundos. Explicando el gozo y la meditación como cosas complementarias, que se refuerzan mutuamente de forma natural, Meng explica cómo estas dos habilidades forman entre sí un círculo vicioso, y una vez puestas en marcha se convierten en una práctica sólida que podemos mantener en nuestra vida cotidiana.
Durante muchos años, se ha enseñado y practicado la meditación en culturas donde casi todos los meditadores la practican a tiempo completo durante años, lo cual resulta en programas de entrenamiento perfeccionados para los que practican la meditación con una gran cantidad de tiempo libre y sin mucho más que hacer que desarrollar un profundo dominio sobre la mente. Viendo una desconexión entre la práctica tradicional y el mundo moderno, el autor best seller ha desarrollado un programa por medio de una «pereza sabia» con el fin de ayudar a los lectores a meditar con mayor eficiencia y eficacia.
Meng nos comparte acerca de los tres pilares del gozo (la paz interior, la comprensión y la felicidad); dice por qué el gozo es el secreto del éxito, y presenta las herramientas prácticas que todos podemos usar para cultivarlo.
A long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Search Inside Yourself shows us how to cultivate joy within the context of our fast-paced lives and explains why it is critical to creativity, innovation, confidence, and ultimately success in every arena.
In Joy on Demand, Chade-Meng Tan shows that you don’t need to meditate for hours, days, months or years to achieve lasting joy—you can actually get consistent access to it in as little as fifteen seconds. Explaining joy and meditation as complementary things that naturally reinforce each other, Meng explains how these two skills form a virtuous cycle, and once put into motion, become a solid practice that can be sustained in daily life.
For many years, meditation has been taught and practiced in cultures where almost all meditators practice full-time for years, resulting in training programs optimized for practitioners with lots of free time and not much else to do but develop profound mastery over the mind. Seeing a disconnect between the traditional practice and the modern world, the bestselling author and Google’s “Jolly Good Fellow” has developed a program, through “wise laziness,” to help readers meditate more efficiently and effectively. Meng shares the three pillars of joy (inner peace, insight, and happiness), why joy is the secret is to success, and demonstrates the practical tools anyone can use to cultivate it on demand.
