English Summary/英文概要： Discover the Secrets to Happiness and Well-Being

The excitement you feel after hearing good news or achieving a goal is fleeting, but true happiness-that is, the warm feeling of deep contentment and joy-is lasting, and it can be yours in every moment. The Buddha’s Way of Happiness is a guide to putting aside your anxieties about the future, regrets about the past, and constant longing to change your life for the better, and awakening to the joy of living.

With this book as your guide, you’ll identify the barriers to happiness you create in your own life and use the eightfold path of Buddhist psychology to improve your ability to appreciate the small, joyful moments that happen every day. These exercises, meditations, and concrete approaches to practicing happiness and well-being are drawn from mindfulness, "no self," and other ancient Buddhist insights, many of which have been proven effective by today’s psychologists and researchers. With the knowledge that happiness is a habit you can adopt like any other, take the first step down this deeply fulfilling path on your life’s journey.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 佛陀式的幸福 - 療癒傷痛、轉化負面情緒，找到當下存在的幸福感

相信所有人聽到好消息或達到自己設定的目標，都會感到開心興奮，但是這就是所謂真正的幸福嗎？其實不然，幸福是一股深藏內心，溫暖又愉悅的滿足感，而這種能量是可以不需要透過他人或事物就能自我獲得的，就像佛陀一般。對於未來不再感到未知的恐懼，對於過去不再有怨言，讓渴望成為生活更美好的唯一動力，並且時時刻刻感受生活美好的一面。(Vincent)

Awards/获奖情况：Reviews:
A wonderful blend of purpose, parable, and practice conveying the essential Buddhist insight that happiness and contentment are much closer than we think.---Zindel V. Segal, Ph.D, coauthor of The Mindful Way Through Depression

In a delightfully unpretentious fashion, Thomas Bien provides a sophisticated introduction to Buddhist philosophy and practice. That he can pull that feat off in a book that contains a section called ’Why Your Dog Is Happier Than You Are’ is both a testimony to his skill as a writer and to his contagiously easy relationship with these ancient teachings. I heartily recommend savoring these pages!---Steven Forrest, author of The Inner Sky and Yesterday’s Sky

Brilliant, captivating, and insightful, The Buddha’s Way of Happiness will help all of us move toward greater degrees of joy, ease, and freedom. Bien’s clinical wisdom, scientific rigor, and deep compassion are felt in each page of the book. These ideas and practices have the power to transform our individual and collective lives.---Shauna L. Shapiro, Ph.D., associate professor at Santa Clara University and coauthor of The Art and Science of Mindfulness

This wonderful volume skillfully blends common sense and uncommon wisdom to lead readers toward what we all really want: happiness and contentment. With the care of a psychotherapist, the knowledge of a researcher, and the insight of one who has walked the walk, Bien shows us that happiness is found closer to home than we believed, and points out how we get there.---Paul R. Fulton, Ed.D., director of mental health for Tufts Health Plan and president emeritus of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy

Reading these pages, you will understand the meaning and experience the wisdom of the ancient Eastern tradition. With warmth and compassion, Bien draws a wonderful road map to happiness. I highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with any form of suffering, but also to whomever wants to find a pathway leading to well-being and wishes to discover the magic and the healing power of being deeply present---Fabrizio Didonna, Psy.D., clinical psychologist and editor of The Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness

In Western psyche and psychology, the pursuit of happiness is often assumed to involve doing, taking control, striving, and acquiring. In The Buddha’s Way of Happiness, Bien invites us to stroll a very different path, an ancient Eastern way toward inner peace and contentment. Whatever one’s own religion, there is deep wisdom here to read, ponder, and practice.---William R. Miller, Ph.D., Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico

It is a radical notion to think that happiness might be found much closer than we think, or that it is not located in the places we usually look for it. In his new book, Bien invites us to consider exactly this possibility as he draws on the teachings of the Buddha, everyday examples, and the richness of diverse faith and spiritual traditions. Bien explores an expanded perspective on human happiness rooted in ancient wisdom, yet extraordinarily relevant to our time. Whether you consider yourself a Buddhist or not, there is much of value here. I recommend you see for yourself. If you do, you just might come away feeling happier!---Jeffrey Brantley, MD, author of Five Good Minutes
