Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence, by Rick Hanson
(Order Next Book)
For the next 1-2 weeks we will complete our discussion of our current book. Then we will begin Full Simplicity: The Art of Renunciation and Letting Go by Kim Allen
Read in Hardwiring HappinessChapter 10. 21 Jewels. The italicized HEAL text in each section is rather repetitive, as Hanson admits. This chapter is meant as a reference. Thus, I recommend we read and discuss the non-HEAL text. I've assigned the whole chapter, as I suspect it will be less deep than the last couple of chapters
The Dharma-Inspired book group is self-led. Anne Foster is acting as facilitator and contact person: afoster@rawbw.com.
