{{italic title}}Finding Happiness: Monastic Steps For A Fulfilling Life is a 2008 book by Christopher Jamison.^[1] In the book Jamison discusses the modern error of equating external pleasures with happiness and argues that the interior world is the true source of happiness.^[2] Jamison challenges the reader to step back and be more contemplative, and to be still and look inwards.^[3] The teachings which Jamison presents are "based on those of the fourth-century desert fathers, founded by St Anthony and honed into shape by St Benedict, father of western monasticism".^[4]

Christopher Jamison is Abbot of Worth, a Benedictine abbey in West Sussex, who became well-known through the BBC TV series The Monastery.^[2]
