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.

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.

No se inmiscuye en la filosofia budista, sino en consejos practicos aprendidos por el Dalai Lama durante su vida.

The Art of Happiness was written through the perspective of a western psychiatrist, Dr. Howard C. Cutler. It saddens...
