A review by vera_baggins
The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama XIV
4.0
The book is very well written and full of priceless knowledge based on buddhist teachings but applicable to any religious or nonreligious persons.
Filled with Dalai Lama's answers to the most pressing questions of human existence and practical meditations and visualizations but also filled with space for individuality in spiritual practices and beliefs.
I was expecting however a greater focus on attachment and how it's a source of suffering and additionally, personally I find the negative attitude towards 'negative' emotions a little disappointing and I was looking forward to some elaboration on how to let them go instead of surpressing them.
The book was different than I expected but nonetheless pleasant and very insigtful.
