"Radically Happy brings the new and the old together in a beautiful way. Phakchok Rinpoche marries his deep understanding of ancient wisdom with Erric Solomon’s experience in the technology-driven modern world. The combination helps us understand how meditation, kindness, and wisdom can make a real difference, moment to moment, in daily life."

 "The authors take us through the different kinds and dimensions of happiness, and teach us that the key to happiness isn't specific circumstances but rather how we relate to our experiences."—Lion's Roar

"Phakchok Rinpoche was trained in the traditional Buddhist wisdom culture and has a deep understanding of the mind and how it functions. At the same time, having lived and traveled all over the US and Europe, Rinpoche is also very familiar with modern life. Erric Solomon not only has a science and business background but also spent years studying the ancient wisdom tradition of Tibet. Together they wrote a book that is perfectly adapted to the modern mindset— which is constantly overwhelmed by the frantic pace of our world. In these times, we have lost the root of happiness. Rinpoche and Solomon guide us to discover the authentic basis of happiness, and it’s compassionate, loving expression. Radically Happy is an essential guide to getting the most out of your heart and mind, which will help make our world a better place."

Tsoknyi Rinpoche author of Open Heart, Open Mind: Awakening the Power of Essence Love
