You Are the Happiness You Seek - by Rupert Spira (Paperback)

About the Book

You Are the Happiness You Seek, by the luminary teacher and author Rupert Spira, offers a simple and direct presentation of the nondual understanding for spiritual seekers as well as people new to the teaching.

Book Synopsis

How may we find happiness and peace?

In this book, Rupert Spira distills the message of all the great religious and spiritual traditions into two essential truths: happiness is the very nature of our self or being, and we share our being with everyone and everything.

Drawing on numerous examples from his own experience, Spira demonstrates that to seek lasting happiness through objects, situations and relationships is destined for failure and disappointment, and skillfully guides the reader to recognize that we are already the happiness we seek.

This book is for anyone who yearns for lasting happiness and is open to the possibility that it is continuously available within ourselves, irrespective of our circumstances.

Could there be any greater discovery in life than to know that we are already that for which we long?
