    Joseph Goldstein talks about mudita, or delight in the happiness of others, building joy and continuing to increase it.

    Mudita is the practice of taking delight in other people’s happiness. There are times when changing your mood seems like an impossible task, and meditation is one of several approaches people explore, alongside others such as music and yoga. If low mood or depression is part of what you are going through, a doctor or therapist can help; a practice like this complements professional care rather than replacing it.
