The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama XIV
5.0
I listened to this book on my iPhone and don't plan to ever remove the file for I see many re-listenings in my future. I think I will get something more from it every time.
The ideas in the book are actually quite simple: our most natural desire is to be happy. And, when we're happy, those around us are happier, and everyone makes better decisions and enjoys their lives more. Of course, with all the distractions and negative emotions zooming around this world, it's easy to lose your center and your grip on happiness. In this text, an American psychologist speaks with Dalai Lama and together they offer an understandable description of Buddhism and its principles and how they can be applied to American life. Towards the end of the text, Dalai Lama emphasizes the importance of and need for multiple religions in the world and accents the fact that no one religion is the right religion.
