Happiness, money and Maharishi
December 13 , 2009
I am writing these words on my iPhone, while sitting on the grass by the bay in Miami Beach. I have been living in Miami Beach since my son was brought back here from Fairfield, Iowa by his mother a few months ago, much to my chagrin.
I do not currently live with my son. From time to time I send Sebastien videos when I want to share some thoughts with him. The video below is one such video and I hope it benefits you in some small way.

I simply wanted to talk to my son about happiness, money and the key that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Transcendental Meditation movement, offers us all.

If there is one thing that we can learn from mainstream media, it is that being rich does not guarantee that you will be happy. Golf champion Tiger Woods is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and yet it seems he was unfulfilled in his life and he took some actions which he likely regrets today.
I do not have any special insights into happiness. I have a hard enough time managing my own life and I have my share of struggles. Anyone who knows me personally will testify that this last sentence is an understatement!
But this I know: I am grateful to His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for the technique of Transcendental Meditation.
The TM technique allows me to dive deep within, morning and evening each day, and allows me to tap that unbounded ocean of "goodness" and bliss that lies within me.
I am reminded of the words "The kingdom of heaven is within you".
