The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama XIV

Not for the faint of heart. I picked this book up after a very traumatic breakup and thought this will help me and be an easy read. For me this book was very intense and I struggled reading it and did get through it. The book is one my favs.

It's quite misleading for this book to be listed by the Dalai Lama (here on Goodreads, on Amazon, at my local library). It's absolutely not. It's by Howard Cutler, who spent some time interviewing the Dalai Lama, and then wrote a book about it, including all of his thoughts and experiences about what the Dalai Lama said. That's not the book I wanted to read. I didn't care for Cutler's writing, and am not really interested in what he has to say.

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.
