Wanna Get Happy (Again)?


Then this man can help. French-philosopher-turned-Buddhist monk MATTHIEU RICARD can help. MRI scans show Ricard is the happiest man in the world. Through meditation Ricard is able to experience massive levels of "positive emotions" in the left pre-frontal cortex of the brain, where your happiness lives, and this time of year, takes a vacation. But Ricard says, "Happiness is a skill. It requires effort and time."

Lucky for us, he's sharing his secrets - check out his book "Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill," out now.
