Story
Hugh van Cuylenburg was a primary school teacher volunteering in northern India when he had a life-changing realisation: despite the underprivileged community the children were from, they were remarkably positive. By contrast, back in Australia Hugh knew that all too many children struggled with depression, social anxieties and mental illness. His own little sister had been ravaged by anorexia nervosa. How was it that young people he knew at home, who had food, shelter, friends and a loving family, struggled with their mental health, while these kids seemed so contented and resilient?

Story
Buddhist philosophy tells us that all personal unhappiness and interpersonal conflict lie in the "three poisons": craving, anger, and delusion. With new high-tech devices, scientists can peer inside the brain centers that calm the inner storms of rage and fear. They also can demonstrate that awareness-training strategies such as meditation strengthen emotional stability - and greatly enhance our positive moods.

The Delai Lama is a Beautiful Soul
I really enjoyed the book, read well and full of great information from many perspectives. What I truly love about this book is that reading it from a Christian perspective the Delai Lama is very accepting and surprisingly encouraging in my faith.
God Bless him and may he have a peaceful and loving life.
The greatest piece of information I have taken away from this book is, True enlightened beings live to help and create peace for all sentient life, meaning they do no support animal suffering but rather make it their goal to create peace and love for all life forms on earth. Such a beautiful message and one I will love by... I haven't eaten meat for 2 years and this book has encouraged me to never do it again.
Have a great day. 5*

ABSOLUTE CODSWALLOP.
It’s 98% dumb questions and dull, unintelligent interpretations by Howard Cutler and 2% words of wisdom by the Dalai Lama. I genuinely think the Dalai Lama was getting pissed off with him throughout the interviews. I could only manage a third of the book and felt a bit conned.

It has it’s moments but it is mostly about the author him self.
There are som interesting insights but the author seems more interested in formulating clever questions to Dalai Lama than the answers.

Wonderful!!
I have listened to a lot of Spiritual Books and I particularly love Ekhart Tolle and Ram Dass.
What is so amazing and different about this book is that we not only get the incredible teachings straight from the mouth of the Dalai Lama, but we also hear the thoughts of the author who is a western Psychologist, which allows us to fully understand and relate to the Buddhist teachings. This is done with a lot of humility and honesty which I really appreciated.
I will be listening again to assimilate all the teachings which are priceless.
Thank you! 🙏

only brushes the surface
I was expecting a little more from this book. This book only touches on very basic Buddhist principles. While I did like the way these principals were broken down with real life examples I found myself frustrated with the line of questioning hoping that the author would choose deeper philosophical questions when faced with someone as insightful as the Dalai Lama. I would recommend reading one of the Dalai Lamas many books rather than this one.

boring
You cant tell when the narrator is reading dialogue. His tone is monotonous.
The author has way too basic understanding to interview the Dalai Lama. Not as profound as I was anticipating :(

An insight into D L, but very pro christian author
Clearly Budism has helped the Dali Lama stay calm and positive. And Budism practice has provided a foundation for mindfulness meditation. But to interrogate the Dali Lama for answers about mental health issues is a bit outside his skill & to conclude that all faiths are helpful for humanity is a bit naive & not supported by science. Read Sam Harris for a more honest perspective.
