December Pick


A Monk's Guide to Happiness: Meditation in the 21st Century

How often do we pause to connect with our true essence?

This inspiring book is by Buddhist monk Gelong Thubten, who has collaborated with Silicon Valley innovators and actors like Benedict Cumberbatch, offering a refreshing perspective on how to find joy in our fast-paced world.

A Monk's Guide to Happiness reveals how meditation can unlock our natural potential for happiness, showing that it’s not just about morning routines but weaving mindfulness into every moment of our day. 

With simple, practical exercises, Gelong teaches us to reconnect with our true essence, proving that meditation is more than a relaxation tool, it’s the path to lasting peace and fulfilment.


We are The High Performance Book Club - a space for exploration, discovery and community.

The books we choose, like the podcast, will offer tangible take-aways that you will be able to apply to your daily life. We want you to achieve your own version of high performance - whatever that may mean to you.

Who we are


Every month we will hand-pick a new read.

Once you have read the book, we’d love you to chat directly with other members of The HP Book Club by joining the Facebook Group. Share your thoughts; ask questions and engage in a healthy debate! 

How it works


The High Performance Book Club has been inspired by the High Performance community

 We receive many messages asking about book recommendations and the books which have been discussed on the podcast.

It’s all here. Find the books, hear from authors and discuss content with other like-minded people! 

The High Performance Book Club will be a space for you to challenge your thinking and lead with curiosity.
