In this book, Rupert Spira distills the message of all the great religious and spiritual traditions into two essential truths: happiness is the very nature of our self or being, and we share our being with everyone and everything. Drawing on numerous examples from his own experience, Spira demonstrates that to seek lasting happiness through objects, situations and relationships is destined for failure and disappointment, and skillfully guides the reader to recognize that we are already the happiness we seek. This book is for anyone who yearns for lasting happiness and is open to the possibility that it is continuously available within ourselves, irrespective of our circumstances. Could there be any greater discovery in life than to know that we are already that for which we long? Review: Enlightenment made easy: the direct path - Rupert Spira is a gifted teacher and wonderful human being. According to Rupert, enlightenment is not something to be obtained. It is not an object. You won’t find it in any experience, possession, relationship, mantra, or chant. The short answer is that enlightenment is becoming aware of that which is aware and identifying with that. You are not your body. You are not your thoughts. You are not your degrees or titles. You are not your trauma. You are that constant presence that has always been and is unchanged through time. Your nature is peace and contentment. As the title has it: , you are the happiness you seek. To summarize: Enlightenment on the direct path is dropping identification with all objects of awareness and instead identifying with awareness itself. That is to say, adopt and embrace the view that “I am awareness.“ There is much more to the teaching that helps stabilize understanding of the teaching and explore its implications. Other notable features of the book are that it is easy to understand. There is no added obfuscation to the teaching. It is not overly esoteric. The book uses a question and answer format at times where questions are posed by the student and answered by the teacher. I found that very helpful. At its root, so-called enlightenment is not some experience to be gained, but rather it is something to be recognized as ever present. Our problem is identifying with and being so caught up in our experiences and the pursuit of objects that we don’t recognize the most basic of things. This book is an invaluable help to cultivate an understanding of who/what you are. Review: Actual self-help - Of all the spiritual paths I've wandered down this one is the most concise and useful. I'm not sure why it's called volume 1 I don't know of a volume 2 but maybe I'm missing something. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #59,538 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in New Age Mysticism (Books) #60 in Consciousness & Thought Philosophy #437 in Spiritual Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 849 Reviews | ## Images ![You Are the Happiness You Seek: Uncovering the Awareness of Being - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oxChpPR+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enlightenment made easy: the direct path *by V***E on January 14, 2024* Rupert Spira is a gifted teacher and wonderful human being.

I'm not sure why it's called volume 1 I don't know of a volume 2 but maybe I'm missing something. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was Skeptical...no more *by S***L on May 9, 2024* I was skeptical of Rupert Spira an his teachings...thinking that someone doing as much on YouTube and professional website as he does. The tradition of guru and disciple has always called for free and personal involvement. But it is a new generation and reaching a mass audience requires these means. I am a skeptic no more. Rupert is so amazingly knowledgeable across religions, logical and straight-forward in his presentation and sincere. I have been following him for about 3 years now and have owned this book since just after it was published. He has so many other publications, but I see no reason to buy them as this book says it all IMO. I have read extensively and listened to other great teachers as well, but I'm sincere in saying that this book is enough. I have bought several other copies for family and friends. It's a bit repetitive at first, but the initial phase of getting past your experience and ego bears the repetition. Keep with it. By the end you will see the whole of it. Read it again and perhaps again and again, because there is subtlety therein. Know that there is only one...be not a seeker...just be. Wisdom distilled. ## Frequently Bought Together - You Are the Happiness You Seek: Uncovering the Awareness of Being - Being Aware of Being Aware (The Essence of Meditation Series) - The Heart of Prayer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/194692094-you-are-the-happiness-you-seek-uncovering-the-awareness-being](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/194692094-you-are-the-happiness-you-seek-uncovering-the-awareness-being) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
