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,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Pros: Well written, informative, and very inspirational... Cons: Gets a little too spiritual...
The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living, is the first Buddhist based, Dalai Lama written book that I have read. I was a little hesitant to read it, since I heard it was deeply rooted with spiritual and religious material, but was pleasantly ...
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...
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.
Pros: easy to understand, very positive influence Cons: none
The Art of Happiness was written by a psychologist in conjunction with the Dalai Lama. I had never read anything with buddhist principals before, and do not know much about the religion. The book is very well written. It is easy to understand. The...
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...
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.
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...
