Many of us spend our lives in the pursuit of happiness. “If I lose five more kilos, I’ll be happier,” we tell ourselves. Or: “If I win the lottery, I’ll be happier.”But one person will tell you there’s only one thing that will bring you true happiness – and it has nothing to do with physical appearance or money or material possessions. “There’s so much suffering in the world it should kindle your compassion and if your compassion is kindled you go to a stronger, healthier, more meaningful way of being,” Matthieu Ricard says. “That’s what I call happiness.”
