Resumen del Editor

The Dalai Lama is probably one of the only people who, if you ask him if he's happy, even though he's suffered the loss of his country, will give you an unconditional "yes." What's more, he'll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and the "the very motion of our life is toward happiness." How to get there has always been the question. He's tried to answer it before, but he's never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand.

Through meditation, stories, and the meeting of Buddhism and psychology, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day depression, anxiety, anger, jealousy, or just an ordinary bad mood. He discusses relationships, health, family, work, and spirituality to show us how to ride through life's obstacles on a deep, abiding source of inner peace. Based on 2,500 years of Buddhist meditations and with a healthy dose of common sense, The Art of Happiness is a program that crosses the boundaries of all traditions to help listeners with the difficulties common to all human beings.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"... this is one of the best how-to books a reader will ever find." (Booklist)
"[It]is not only an excellent supplement to daily self-awareness practices, it is also an indispensable educational tool." (AudioFile)

One of those life-changing books

Can't say enough great things about this book. First of all, this is one of those books that is better in audiobook. The book is laid out in a question and answer format, which is narrated by two different people and done very well. The content of this book is great for anyone looking to make positive changes in their life or seek happiness. This book gives helpful tips on how to be happy and get the most out of life in ways that seem manageable.

While reading this I wrote down a lot of quotes and put them on my mirror as daily inspiration. One I can remember..."Genuine change doesn't happen over night"

Like I said, great for anyone seeking self improvement, but I also think that if everyone would listen to this book and implement changes into their lives, the world would be a better place.

Starting with you! :)

Heartwarming and necessary

This is a wonderfully spoken version of the book. This is an easy "read" for anyone looking for a refresher after losing their way in this world.

Great content and presentation

For those unfamiliar with the Dalai Lama, like I was, this is an incredible introduction. Moving yet simple advice.

On The Art Of ☺️

Great book! I enjoyed listening. Many quotes will stick with me forever. You will enjoy thoroughly!

its attachments its perspectives and it's awesome

sometimes I feel detached from this world, the things that should make sense dont and the things that makes sense don't really make me feel like a better person. Nice to know that in such a big place my perspective matters and my attachments are just that. The art of happiness is refreshing to both the mind and heart. This book doesnt make me feel like I have it all figured out but I like the advice and the guidance to the right path, more importantly my path and if its happiness it will only be out of choice of having a positive out look. I hope you enjoyed this as much as i did.

Absolutely wonderful

A moving book. I listened twice back to back..and will continue to use this book as a reference.. Truly inspirational.
