Happiness Sutra: Be the Witness

book synopsis/description:

This is the handbook of happiness you've been waiting for...

A young IT professional is prevented from leaping into a river by a police officer. He's drawn into a conversation that shows him the happiness he yearns for is within him, not in the people or things around him. This dialogue serves as a practical and easy-to-follow guide on how to take control of your own life. It does not advocate any physically challenging or intellectually incomprehensible practices. It only calls for realising the value of cultivating introspection and awareness in a way that's practical to all.
