We’re all on a search for happiness, but we’re looking in the wrong places. Gelong Thubten should know. A former actor living a wild lifestyle in New York, he suffered from severe anxiety and a near-death burnout. This dramatic wake-up call led him to completely change his life: he became a monk studying under some of the most experienced Tibetan meditation masters. He shares his insight into using meditation to finding long-lasting happiness.
