Jonathan Lehmann
Meditation Teacher
Jonathan Lehmann is a writer, meditation teacher and leader of silent retreats. He used to be an unhappy Wall Street lawyer. He now devotes himself to the study of happiness.
He shares the teachings that have made a deep impact on his own path, particularly on his ability to feel joy, find purpose and connect to the present moment. He is especially interested in how the compulsive, negative mind can become a tool for gratitude, creativity and love.
His work appears under the name Les Antisèches du Bonheur (The Happiness Cheatsheets). It includes books, among them Journal Intime d'un Touriste du Bonheur and Journal intime d'un voyageur chamanique, as well as guided meditations, pop culture meditations, retreats, a happiness book club, and meditation kits for schools and health settings.
