How to Train A Happy Mind: A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment is a 2024 book by Scott Snibbe. It shares a non-religious form of analytical meditation organized into an eight-step sequence based on the Tibetan Buddhist lamrim "stages of the path to enlightenment." The book features a foreword by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.[1]
Spirituality & Practice wrote of the book that, "Otherwise complicated practices are distilled in helpful ways... The preciousness of life, the meaning of love, and making sense of personal identity, all come into new focus in this interesting, secular, approach to Tibetan Buddhist teaching and practice. Highly recommended."[2]
The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's journal Therapy Today calls the book "a readable eight-step guide to the Buddhist practice of analytical meditation—an approach compared to CBT that aims to reveal your personal thinking patterns and teach you to manage their impact."[3]
