Happiness is not a state of life, it's a state of mind...
Life today is very different than when you were as a kid.Â
From iPhones to TikTok, the world has never been faster...
Or more stressful.
So, how do you manage? How do you find joy in a chaotic world that seems hell-bent on breeding anxiety?
The answer lies within you. Â Within your mind...
Once you master your mind, you'll be able to face the day with renewed confidence, ready to face whatever the world has to throw at you.
In the East, monks spend years (and hours a day!) meditating to clear their minds and find inner peace...
At Practical Buddha, our goal is to help you create a peaceful mind and find true joy in minutes a day.

“She was crying with joy, hugging and kissing me in the middle of the gym! That’s the moment I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life…”
At age 22, Tom Notarianni was diagnosed with dysthymia, a form of chronic depression. And given Paxil to “solve the problem.”
What was wrong? Sure, he’d grown up in what he called “your typical dysfunctional Italian family”… he’d also tried (and failed!) going to college… and bounced from job to job trying to find something meaningful.
But the real problem was his mind was in a “fog”…
After landing in the hospital to recover from a hernia, Tom realized he needed to change his lifestyle. And resolved to go to the gym.
What he experienced was life-changing… not only was his body getting stronger and healthier, but his mind was getting better too! He was finally feeling happier in his life.
After 6 months he was able to quit the meds and decided to become a Certified Personal Trainer. That’s when he had an experience that would alter the direction of his life forever…
A very shy and scared elderly woman came to see him for help. He spent an extra 90 minutes to help her feel more comfortable in the gym. At the end, she was crying with joy, hugging and kissing him in the middle of gym! That’s when Tom realized he’d found his calling – to help and teach others to be happy.
His study of joy and happiness eventually led him to go beyond the gym and look at the effects food, diet, and other factors had on his mind. He had come to the realization that “when his mind was good, his world was good.” Â
He dove head-first into spiritual teachings and learned directly form Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and studied Vajrayana Buddhism with monks for years. Meditation became the crown jewel of his practice. Â
From 2004 to 2008 Tom was appointed Wellness Director for the Delray Center for Healing in south Florida. He then became a spiritual wellness teacher and has since mentored hundreds of people from all walks of life… from nurses to Fortune 500 execs to everyone in between!
Today, Tom is devoted to raising the consciousness of humanity through his teachings at Practical Buddha.

“I Was in a Rut, Tom Gave me Clarity...”
I started working with Tom back in early 2016. A difficult situation at work had left me dejected, confused, and angry. I couldn't stop playing it over in my head. Tom showed me how my mind works, and helped me replace my anger with joy. I can't put a dollar figure on what Tom's help has meant for me, and for the breakthroughs that happened afterwards in my professional life. Thank you.
