Joyful Wisdom

Tibetan meditation master Yongey Mingyur has won praise from the likes of Richard Gere, Julian Schnabel, and Lou Reed, but his true worth doesn't reside in such stylish endorsements. Rather, he merits our interest for his artfully simple distillations of more than 2,000 years of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom. In *Joyful Wisdom,* his charming stand-alone follow-up to *The Joy of Living,* he addresses our age of anxiety, which he suggests is not much different from nearly every previous epoch. He approaches this universal condition as a staircase to new freedoms that can be enjoyed one step at a time. Clarity and joy from a single center.
