wisdom of a meaningful life, The
Book Description
In a world obsessed with quick fixes and instant gratification, John Bruna offers a profound alternative path to genuine fulfillment. Drawing from his unique background as both a Buddhist monk and certified counselor, Bruna presents a comprehensive approach that transcends superficial happiness to cultivate lasting contentment.
This essential guide reveals how authentic satisfaction emerges not from external stimuli, but from aligning our daily actions with our deepest values. Bruna skillfully identifies the psychological pitfalls that keep us trapped in cycles of stress and anxiety while searching for happiness in all the wrong places. Rather than offering Band-Aid solutions, he provides readers with time-tested mindfulness practices rooted in the complete Buddhist framework of ethics, concentration, and wisdom.
What sets this work apart is Bruna's ability to preserve the depth and integrity of ancient wisdom while making it accessible to people from any spiritual background or none at all. He addresses the unfortunate trend of watered-down mindfulness teachings that reduce this profound practice to mere concentration exercises, instead offering the full richness of contemplative tradition.
Through practical methods and accessible insights, readers discover how to transform their relationship with everyday experiences, moving beyond the endless pursuit of pleasure toward a more meaningful existence. This multilayered guide serves as both introduction and deepening practice for anyone seeking authentic spiritual growth and lasting peace.
