A review by teibrich
The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama XIV

3.0

This book (and the Dalai Lama‘s believes) are based on two fundamental truths: we are all human beings and: we all want to be and have a right to be happy and free of suffering. I am amazed by the fundamentally logic nature of this book: yes, the Dalai Lama is a religious figure, but this book is about so much more. Foremost: compassion.

I definitely took away something from the book. At the same time it sometimes feels overly complex and hard to follow. It’s probably one of those books that you can’t grasp fully on the first read, but should read multiple times…
