Nothing to Fix

From Robert Waldinger – director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, Zen master, practising psychiatrist and New York Times bestselling author – a revolutionary guide on how to live your best life, from one moment to the next. In 2004, Dr Robert Waldinger became the director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest-running study of happiness ever conducted. It should have been the pinnacle of a career spent uncovering what makes people thrive. Instead, he was left with a gnawing question: Is this all there is? Searching for answers, Waldinger spent decades immersing himself in rigorous Zen meditation training and delving into the lives of the Study participants. He discovered a simple but transformative truth: life is less about what happens and more about how we meet what happens. Being 'Zen' isn’t about suppressing difficult emotions but instead turning toward them. And a fulfilling life comes not from chasing outcomes, but from embracing the process of living. Nothing to Fix is a revelatory guide to the science and spirituality of human happiness – and offers readers radical perspective shifts that enable us to feel more completely alive. ‘A masterclass in perspective, acceptance and finding happiness where you least expect it’ Mel Robbins ‘A must-read for anyone who is seeking clarity, purpose and peace’ Jay Shetty 'A profound exploration of what it means to live fully in an increasingly chaotic world' Steven Bartlett ???????© Robert Waldinger 2027 (P) Penguin Audio 2027
