How to be happy

I am listening to a World Service Heart and Soul program, an interview with Mathieu Ricard, Buddhist monk and former neuroscientist, called by some "the happiest man in the world". How can we cultivate happiness? Practice, he says. It's training.

"You wouldn't expect to learn to ski by practicing a few minutes every month,"

he says.
Good advice. Not easy. Listen to him talk about it.
