A work of popular philosophy from an Eastern perspective, this analyses our perennial search for happiness and explains why we can't find it in modern lifestyles, pleasure or fame. It enlists the help of polls by sociologists, findings of evolutionary psychologists, historians, philosophers and others, as well as drawing on personal experience and examples, to show that true happiness is to be found in realizing that we are not separate from everything else-whether people, objects, or happiness itself.

Media Reviews

Goes way beyond self help books to examine belief itself - in particular, the belief that we are something individual and separate. As a friendly and experienced guide, he demonstrates that we are nothing other than happiness itself! Dr. Greg Goode, Doctor of western philosophy, New York An insightful overview of the great questions of life itself: a compelling inner tapestry that encourages the reader to willingly embrace life being exactly as it is. Readable, relevant and recommended. Chuck Hillig, author of Enlightenment for Beginners. Takes the mainstream by the hand and pragmatically leads them away from where they believe that they are in their minds, to where they actually are here and now in Heart. The guide is friendly, clear and intelligent, with well documented research. Katie Davis, author of Awake Living Joy Fluid and engaging, I highly recommend it. It serves to reaffirm Dennis Waite as one of the foremost contemporary writers on the subject of Advaita Vedanta in the West. Paula Marvelly, The Teachers of One
