I loved it. it has given me a better insight on happiness and how I can achieve it. I am very interested in Buddhism because of this book. searching for more dalai Lama books as we speak. give it a go!

An introduction to the philosophy of the Dalai Lama. I found the narration of the intro by the author hard to listen to, but the main text was good. Skip the intro (it finished halfway through chapter one) and enjoy the rest of this short book.

Good introduction

too short....fluidity was off putting due to shortness of chapters. it was more in keeping with a simple synopsis. exhilarating words as usual.

disappointed
