In this unique and important book, one of the world's great spiritual leaders offers his practical wisdom and advice on how we can overcome everyday human problems and achieve lasting happiness.

The Art of Happiness is a highly accessible guide for a western audience, combining the Dalai Lama's eastern spiritual tradition with Dr Howard C. Cutler's western perspective. Covering all key areas of human experience, they apply the principles of Tibetan Buddhism to everyday problems and reveal how one can find balance and complete spiritual and mental freedom.

For the many who wish to understand more about the Dalai Lama's approach to living, there has never been a book which brings his beliefs so vividly into the real world.

Excellent book talks about altering the suffering mind. I will give you an Example of mine. I'm at the doctors waiting to be called and fuming about how long it is taking. I pick up a magazine and say I hope I have time to read this magazine before I'm called. Bingo I have changed a negative to a positive I have gone from suffering to not suffering. Of course more difficult situations need more strength of mind. The only thing I disagree with is you can not be at peace all the time. It is important to have the sword but to keep it sheathed or in order to have peace train for war.
