'No one I know except for Christophe André can write in such a rhapsodic, poetic, poignant and personally honest way about such quintessentially human experiences as feelings and moods – energies which, while evanescent and subtle, run our lives in ways it is very easy to ignore. This book illuminates the very real possibility of authentic well-being and happiness for each of us, right here and now, without anything having to change, however astonishing and improbable that proposition may seem.'Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Mindfulness for Beginners and Coming to Our Senses'Moods establish the inner "weather" of the mind – perhaps bright and sunny, or overcast and troubled – and with his rare combination of head and heart, Christophe André shows what creates this weather and how we can change it for the better.'Rick Hanson, author of Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom'Christophe André leads us through a heartfelt encounter with the ubiquity and complexity of emotional life. Take your time reading his evocative prose and find yourself rewarded with a new appreciation for how thoughts and feelings are foundational in achieving greater satisfaction and purposefulness in your life.'Zindel Segal, University of Toronto
