Highly Recommend

I enjoy fiction & non-fiction. I read sci-fi, horror, historical...science & psychology, spirituality, etc. I have enjoyed every Dalai Lama book I've read, this one especially along with The Universe in a Single Atom. Like reading Whitman...something resonates inside and I know we are all beautiful beings connected in ways we can't imagine. Act in kindness.

Such a wonderful book!

And so important in today's confused world! Very helpful insights for meeting the challenges of a materialistic culture where we often look for fulfilment in less than helpful places. Dali Lama is a soul of true goodness. Reading him can only bring insight and inner peace.

Buenas ideas para vivir mejor

Es un libro facil de leer, en el que el autor le hace una serie de preguntas (tipo entrevista) acerca de la felicidad, la bondad, los problemas, la tristeza, etc. Da ideas y consejos practicos para llevar una vida mas sencilla y libre de todas las cosas que nos impiden vivir plenamente. No se inmiscuye en la filosofia budista, sino en consejos practicos aprendidos por el Dalai Lama durante su vida.

Important reading for today!

I was changed by this book within the first thirty pages. From the very start the book helps you to apply teachings of His Holiness to your own life and in day to day situations. I found that Cutler did a great job of interveiwing and applying Western reality to the Eastern thought. In the past week after finishing the book, I Apply as much as I can in my daily life and others have noticed the change in my attitude...

If it were possible to give 6 stars, then I would give it 7

I picked this book up at its first print. I found this book extremely spiritually insightful, to say the absolute least. Every time I read this book again (that's right, again), I find new value locked within the Dalai Lamas' words. However, I am reading a lot of these reviews in much disappointment. The Art of Happiness was written through the perspective of a western psychiatrist, Dr. Howard C. Cutler. It saddens...

Read-Aloud Books for Everyone!
Published by Ashly Moore Sheldon • November 08, 2019

Reading aloud isn't just for kids. Everyone benefits from the simple, calming act of picking up a book and enjoying a story together. It is especially important in this age of frantic, electronic, distraction. We have become so accustomed to the constant cacophony of our devices, we forget how important it is to unplug.
