Most so called “self-help experts” advise you to try techniques like “positive thinking” or “positive visualization” to achieve your goals and live a better life.
If only it were that easy…
I learned the hard way that there’s a lot more to being happy than “positive thinking”.

A note from Lachlan Brown, Hack Spirit founder and editor-in-chief
I originally created Hack Spirit because I was so passionate about how useful mindfulness and eastern philosophy can be in people’s lives, yet most of the information out there failed to provide it in a practical and simple way. It frustrated me that such valuable knowledge was often delivered in confusing ways.
So I set out to to change this. I believe that mindfulness doesn’t need to be esoteric. It can be very practical and accessible.
I have a graduate degree in Psychology and I’ve spent the last 6 years reading and studying all I can about human psychology and practical ways to hack our mindsets.
I’m humbled by the incredible support we’ve received along the way from you, our readers. We’re now one of the largest media sites on mindfulness and practical psychology for every day living with over 500,000 monthly readers.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. To keep in touch, follow me on Facebook or Twitter.

He’s also running Ideapod, a technology company producing media on the ideas shaping our lives. His favorite philosopher is Noam Chomsky, and he’s also partial to the wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh when it comes to his ideas on engaged Buddhism.
