distancia. Junto con el gozo, hallarás la serenidad, la claridad y
la creatividad por medio de la disciplina de tu mente. ¿Qué puedes
perder?'.---- Daniel H. Pink, autor de To Sell is Human y Drive
'Cuando un libro ofrece pensamientos científicos prácticos acerca

'Vivimos en un mundo de una estimulación externa constante, donde
se nos dice que el éxito material es la fuente de nuestra
felicidad, y nuestras posesiones nunca serán suficiente. En
realidad, la fuente de la felicidad y del contentamiento se
encuentra en nuestro interior, y con respirar una vez nos basta
para tener acceso a ella. En Gozo al instante, Meng presenta
herramientas para entrenar la mente que están libres de la
religiosidad tradicional, y que se encuentran al alcance de todos.

potencial de causar un profundo impacto en la sociedad
actual'.----Su Santidad el Décimo Séptimo Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen
