Everyone has the potential to be happy, after all, we’re all ‚hardwired‘ for happiness. But how do we get there? By meditating. Not just in the morning, but throughout the day by introducing micro moments so we never drop the mindfulness ball, even when we’re busy. Meditation is more than just a stress-reduction tool or a relaxation therapy, it is the key to finding long-lasting happiness.
Gelong Thubten, a Buddhist monk who has worked with everyone from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, to hospitals, universities and actors such as Benedict Cumberbatch, explores the theme of happiness and explains how to bring meditation into our busy 21st century lives with simple exercises.

Just wow. His take on a place of mindfulness is bonkers wrong. Pick a sense organ. Pick a thing to focus on with that sense organ. When thoughts pop up, refocus back to the chosen sense. We can totally quiet the mind. And far from being worthless like this person suggests, from a quiet, relaxed mind, introspection deepens towards self-understanding and acceptance.

His mistake is misequating happiness with blessedness/peace. It’s a common error, where most people cannot discern the differences between the two. Happiness is dependant on external factors and blessedness/peace is cultivated within to withstand external factors and be constant in our lives.

"Just wow. His take on a place of mindfulness is bonkers wrong. " Perhaps you aren't as 'enlightened' as your username would suggest.

Where are the Buddha’s core teachings? This is not Buddhism but woo ideology. Sorry to be so rude, but truly - the core teachings were not even mentioned. Meditation is not the foundation of Buddhism. First sort out your behavior. First live virtuously by following the 5 precepts. No true meditation benefits can happen if you are a zoo of passions, wants, lusts, and cruelties. While you are practicing the virtues, read Buddha Dhamma (the core texts of the Pali Canon). Grow in knowledge of what it is you are attempting to achieve. READ, PRACTICE, READ! Learn to identify the dissatisfactory nature of the material world. Learn the origins of this dissatisfaction. Learn what to do about it. Then, once you have some insight into Dhamma, approach meditation with a mind that comprehends what it is doing and why. A person not rooted in virtue cannot possibly get anything out of meditation except relaxation or the satisfaction of your senses. You can achieve the same result from a nice jog, a long hot bath, or a roll in the hay. Just follow the core teachings of the Blessed One, and you will not need all of this New Age waffle. (I hope I have not offended anyone, but truly - this is not Buddhism). Namo Buddhaya.

Better not to say like that as he is a monk keeping precepts speacillay Brammachari. He is following buddhisum but it is really hard for him to convert whole people around world to buddhist . What he can do is just helping them with the teaching of buddha , may be to reduce their stress and depression . After then these people can practice mindfulness and see the benefit of buddhism . That may lead these people to learn buddhism deeply and find the core teaching of lord buddha later. Therefore his effort will be fruitful in future oneday. Therefore better to look into this with equnimity.
