More About This Book

Overview

An updated edition of a beloved classic, the original book on happiness, with new material from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Dr. Howard Cutler.

Nearly every time you see him, he's laughing, or at least smiling. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He's the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and a hugely sought-after speaker and statesman. Why is he so popular? Even after spending only a few minutes in his presence you can't help feeling happier.

If you ask him if he's happy, even though he's suffered the loss of his country, the Dalai Lama will give you an unconditional yes. What's more, he'll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and that ?the very motion of our life is toward happiness.? How to get there has always been the question. He's tried to answer it before, but he's never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand.

The Art of Happiness is the book that started the genre of happiness books, and it remains the cornerstone of the field of positive psychology.

Through conversations, stories, and meditations, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day anxiety, insecurity, anger, and discouragement. Together with Dr. Howard Cutler, he explores many facets of everyday life, including relationships, loss, and the pursuit of wealth, to illustrate how to ride through life's obstacles on a deep and abiding source of inner peace. Based on 2,500 years of Buddhist meditations mixed with a healthy dose of common sense, The Art of Happiness is a book that crosses the boundaries of traditions to help readers with difficulties common to all human beings. After being in print for ten years, this book has touched countless lives and uplifted spirits around the world.

    An interesting book from a wonderful person

    I am not a Buddhist but really admire their practical views on life. Most religions are about "God", this book outlines a religion that focuses on making us a better, more effective, happier person. I don't think "God" is mentioned in the book, except to say that other peoples religions are good and worthwhile if it helps them feel better about themselves and life and gives them happiness.

    The book is co-written by an American Psychiatrist, an revolves around him asking for answers and explanations from the Dalai Lama. Very interesting and educational, even though you might not agree 100% with the ideas of Buddhism. That is very OK with the Dalai Lama ---the books explains ideas rather than preaching.

    The Art of Happiness

    This is an amazing and life changing book. I recommend that everyone buy two copies. One to keep and one to give away because you will want to share this with everyone you know and even people you don't know.

    more from this reviewer

    Recommended for Spiritual Seekers

    Eastern spirituality meets Western psychology in this book written and compiled by Howard Cutler, with quotations and subject matter from questions he posed to the Dalai Lama. (Spoiler alert) Some of the tactics include realizing that happiness must come from within, cultivating relationships based on compassion, replacing the focus of negative events with positive attributes such as gratitude for all we have vs. a fixation on what we do not. One need not be a Buddhist or religious to appreciate the information in this book. While I absolutely loved the first half of this book, I thought the second half was less engaging and almost tedious in its length. I found the bits of direct quotations from the Dalai Lama the most engaging and the lengthy waxings of Mr. Cutler somewhat interesting, although in need of a bit of savvy editing. However, the wisdom contained within the pages of this book is worthwhile and I recommend it to anyone who seeks the emotional state of happiness or the end of suffering.
