The Art of Happiness: A Handbook For Living ~ His Holiness The Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler

The Art of Happiness self-help book is the result of a daring but respectable interview of his holiness, the Dalai Lama by psychiatrist Howard Cutler in which Dr Cutler poses some really difficult psychological questions about a rather difficult psychological throbbing subject – happiness.

The Dalai Lama in the course of the interview gives an insight into Buddhist way of life and how happiness can be actually be learnt by training one’s mind to do just that. Surprisingly the art of learning how to be happy extends even to the great spiritual being like the Dalai Lama himself.

The Dalai Lama reveals that he is also vulnerable in certain situations just like the rest of us, mere mortals, but he has learnt how to deal with negative situations like anxiety, anger and sadness that would ordinarily lead to unhappiness.

The art of happiness book covers a broad range of topics in modern day life like family, health, work, relationships etc, so readers should easily find solutions to problems related to these areas of our lives using the wisdom and advice from the Dalai Lama himself.

What a lot of people don’t realise according to the Dalai Lama is that human beings have in-built happiness in them. That in-built happiness is just waiting to be discovered by us.

All it requires is the ability to find it through a little effort on our part, systematic training our minds and hearts, re-adjusting our attitudes and subsequently stay happy thereafter.

While the book does not have the razzmatazz of a fictional story book, the reader is held spell-bound by the advice and knowledge the Dalai Lama offers as his sense of serenity comes across in his wise words.

If you think learning the art of happiness from this book represents a great gift for yourself, you will be amazed at how thankful a friend or family member will be to you if they got it as a gift from you.
