Phakchok Rinpoche and Erric Solomon have collaborated on Radically Happy: A User’s Guide to the Mind. Many people have questions—what does the book discuss? What does the title mean? In this regular blog feature, co-creator Erric Solomon shares more about how to be Radically Happy

I asked my friend Juri Henley-Cohn (an excellent actor by the way) to be the voice for the audiobook. The producer had sent a few auditions, none of them seemed to get us. But I think Juri did. Thank you Juri. Here is a sample from the beginning of the book.
