A mind is a terrible thing to leave untrained

by AuntieEmma , Aug 26 '01
Pros: Most accessible of the Dalai Lama's books.
Cons: Sometimes choppy.
The Dalai Lama is his own best advertisement. He gazes out from the book's cover, splendid in a maroon robe and matching glasses, his face relaxed, calm, lips parted in a half smile, big dimples highlighted by the angled light, eyes alert and bright,...

Buddhism for the masses

by danoid , Jul 16 '02
Pros: The book is mildly entertaining when it describes peoples' problems
Cons: A bit too wordy; also the book doesn't flow
I read one of the Dalai Lama's books a couple months ago and decided to give this one a quick read when I saw it on a shelf at the local library. The first book I read was concentrated almost entirely on meditation (I believe the title of the book was...

Why does the Buddha smile?

by mnehr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 20 '00
Pros: The tools for a journey of realization.
Cons: Requires determination to begin the journey.
It is odd that so many look into the philosophical Buddhist thought as a way to find transcendence beyond the troubles of life and to find happiness. When one thinks of the depth of Buddhist philosophy, what usually comes to mind is the embracement of...

Plain talk

by zygoat , Mar 29 '00
Pros: chapters well organized for jumping around
Cons: none
This book is one that I hope to refer to over the years. It's one
that to me is valuable enough to keep around, not just to fill up
the bookcase or be a conversation starter, but as a presence, perhaps
even friend. At first it appeared...

Truly a Handbook For Living

by Phenoik , Mar 14 '00
Pros: Easy to read with a lot to say
Cons: Ideas are very religiously based
I received The Art of Happiness as a gift from my mother because she new I was interested in the doctrines of Buddhism and the history of the Tibetan people. When I read the preface, I knew I would not only enjoy the book, but also be able to use it in...

Amazing advice with an extraordinary inspirational meaning

by ricardo-torres , Dec 12 '99
Pros: Simple to follow through, very well structured
Cons: I can't think of anything
I have never read before a book by the Dalai Lama, until "The Art of Happiness" came out. This book makes you see the aspects of your life that you are always afraid to look at. It gives you the inspiration to fight your bad habits; habits...

More about than by the Dalai Lama

by letrouvere , Oct 16 '00
Pros: Interesting book. Helpful ideas.
Cons: No significant cons
This book was actually written by Howard Cutler, not by the Dalai Lama. Dr. Cutler reproduces a number of conversations that he had with the Dalai Lama. Thus, much of the content of the book consists of the words of the Dalai Lama. However, to suggest...

Find happiness

by spikette83 , Dec 13 '01
Pros: Gives the depressed hope, the happy a new outlook
Cons: If you're anti-being happy this book stinks
From a depressed person's point of view, this book offers hope and new outlooks. The Dali Lama outlines new patterns of thought, which are dramatically different from that of Western Culture.

The Dali Lama does not give advice, so much as...

Ocean of Wisdom

by Peipei , Apr 11 '00
Pros: Insightful, easy to read
Cons: nothing
That is how Dalai Lama translates into English. His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet is the most amazing man there is. After being forced to live in Exile and watching his people and country systematically being destroyed by the Chinese this truly...

a wonderful and humbling read

by yoyoma , May 22 '01
Pros: A great read.
Cons: Too short
This book is very warm, and really a great read. It's not everyday you find a book that mixes the trials of daily life in with a well grounded approach to living. The Dalai lama is an amazing person, and his insight is perfect for anyone.

Change your Life

by humptiness , Nov 12 '99
Pros: Foreign views on happiness, not a long book, easy reading
Cons: Not directly written by the Dalai Llama
The Art of Happiness is a life changing book. The Dalai Llama, through the insightful help of Howard Cutter, uncovers simple daily practices that can radically alter the light of your life. The reading is very smooth, and though this book can be read...
