A trio of books written by Dr. Rick Hanson – a psychologist, meditation practicer

and New York Times best-selling author – show a scientific approach to

religious matters. Through the set of books, the author helps to lead his readers

from understanding happiness, peace, and joy to

step-by-step practice to achieve them.

One of Buddhism central concept, thusness/suchness shows the highest wisdom,

represents the true knowledge. It is eternal, the only truth, its own self-being,

and the purest simplicity; it is invigorating, immutable, free...

The books trio cover is based on the circle concept, so they have a strong,

unifying theme and thoroughly story; one is built upon another to establish

a complete understanding and practical solution.

Buddha's brain is the first book of the trio. It sets a foundation knowledge on

happiness through the combination of Buddhism and psychology.

The book shows it’s vital to grow strengths inside like self-worth,

patience, kindness, and joy: the foundation of lasting well-being

in a changing world.

After thoroughly explaining and setting a basis for 'what is happiness',

the third book is a collection of practices that step-by-step guide the readers to achieve it.
