Everyday Enlightenment

"Everyday Enlightenment" is an inspirational guide to finding happiness by taking in the beauty right in front of you. Leading Himalayan Buddhist His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa walks with you along your path and teaches you that: there is peace in recognizing that we are all connected; positive influences are closer than you think; in order to inspire others, you need to find inspiration in your life; and, what we think, we become. Bringing ancient wisdom into the modern world, "Everyday Enlightenment" teaches through stories and example, showing you how to let go of your ego and stress, turn anger into compassion, and transform your fears into courage.

His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa, the spiritual head of the Drukpa school of Buddhism, has taught to millions of students worldwide. His core philosophy is to convert compassion into action and help others find concrete solutions to today's personal and global problems. His Holiness is an active humanitarian, and he has worked alongside celebrities such as Richard Gere, Michelle Yeoh and Joanna Lumley on international aid projects. He has been recognized by the 2010 United Nations Millennium Development Committee for his work in women's education.
