Anyone can be happy by simply training their brain.

Worries are pointless. If there's a solution, there's no need to worry. If no solution exists, there's no point to worry.

Good and evil exist only in terms of the happiness or suffering they create in ourselves and others

Happiness is the main object of our aspirations, whatever name we give to it: fulfilment, deep satisfaction, serenity, accomplishment, wisdom, fortune, joy or inner peace, and however we try to seek it: creativity, justice, altruism, striving, completion of a plan or a piece of work.

We try to fix the outside so much, but our control of the outer world is limited, temporary, and often, illusory.

By breaking down our sense of self-importance, all we lose is a parasite that has long infected our minds. What we gain in return is freedom, openness of mind, spontaneity, simplicity, altruism: all qualities inherent in happiness.

Peace is not weak. Standing up to a tank is harder than dropping a suicide bomb
