I don't read too many philisophical books or books that make me think about spirituality. This was an easy listen that had some humbling wisdom that was not preachy in nature, but felt like a meditation in itself. I probably won't suggest this book to many people, but I did find it worth 3 hours of my time.

The Dalai Lama has always inspired me and for some reason, I sped read this entire book in 1.5 days. One of my favourite things I've taken away from this book is that whether we feel happy or unhappy is many times dependent on the function of how we perceive our situation and how satisfied we are with what we have. Compassion and gratitude cannot exist in constant comparison to others.
