    Go to a local used book store and get a beginner book on Buddhism. Contentment is a state of mind.

      Chan/Zen to be specific. Honestly there’s a lot of crazy shit out there calling itself Buddhism, but starting with philosophy heavy texts is probably the best way to distill those practices and ideals.

      Yes. Thich Nhat Hanh was a good respected teacher. I also like recommend Joseph Goldstein.

      The four noble truths and the eightfold path are the solution.
