 The Art of Happiness - The Dalai Lama
 The Art of Happiness - The Dalai Lama ... Dalai Lama and really press him about life's persistent questions? Why are so many people unhappy? How can I abjure loneliness? How can we reduce conflict? Is romantic love true love? Why do we suffer? How should we deal with unfairness and anger? How do you handle the death of a loved one? These are the conundrums that psychiatrist Howard Cutler poses to the Dalai Lama during an extended period of interviews in The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living. At first, the Dalai Lama's answers seem simplistic, like a surface reading of Robert Fulghum: ask yourself if you really need something; our enemies can be our teachers; compassion brings peace of mind. Cutler pushes: but some people do seem happy with lots of possessions; but suffering is life is so pessimistic; but going to extremes provides the zest in life; but what if I don't believe in karma? As the Dalai Lama's responses become more involved, a coherent philosophy takes shape. Cutler then develops the Dalai Lama's answers in the context of scientific studies and cases from his own practice, substantiating and elaborating on what he finds to be a revolutionary psychology. Like any art, the art of happiness requires study and practice--and the talent for it, the Dalai Lama assures us, is in our nature.Newest Review: ...

I thought about that ... more ... and I realised even when we have our physical health we can be plagued with doubts and guilt. This book helps us understand this and gives lots of scenarios on how to live our lives. E.g. Having the best car on the street does not make us happy but everyone living fairly equally is the best way forward.
Always rememeber we depend on others and they depend on us. Do not allow anyone to make you feel inferior and also do not think you are better than another human being. This is just some of the messages the Dalai L...more |

I read this book about two years ago and found it to be revealing and life changing. We always hear that our health is the most important thing to us. It is true our health is very important but the Dalai Lama points out that our "peace of mind" is the most precious thing a human being can have. I thought about that and I realised even when we have our physical health we can be plagued with doubts and guilt. This book helps us understand this and gives lots of scenarios on how to live our lives. E.g. Having the best car on the street does not make us happy but everyone living fairly equally is the best way forward. Always rememeber we ... Read the complete review
