The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World

De: Dalai Lama, Howard Cutler M.D.

Narrado por: Marc Cashman

How can we expect to find happiness and meaning in our lives when the modern world seems such an unhappy place? His Holiness the Dalai Lama has suffered enormously throughout his life, yet he always seems to be smiling and serene. How does he do it? In The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World, Dr. How­ard Cutler walks listeners through the Dalai Lama's philosophy on how to achieve peace of mind and come to terms with life's inherent suffering. Together, the two examine the roots of many of the problems facing the world and show us how we can approach these calamities in a way that alleviates suffering and helps us along in our personal quests to be happy. Through stories, meditations, and in-depth conversations, the Dalai Lama teaches us to identify the cultural influences and ways of thinking that lead to personal unhappiness, thereby making sense of the hardships we face personally as well as the afflictions suffered by others.©2009 Dalai Lama; (P)2009 Random House

enjoyable and thought provoking

loved it, so much to take in, I'll be listening to it again, maybe several times!

thank you for sharing with the world

A great look at what is really going on in the wor

I read many books by the Dalai Lama and each one I find more and more fascinating. When I first started readying his books I thought he was a bit nuts. However, 10 years later I'm reading new books by him with others help and re-reading old ones. I'm finding that he's not nuts at all. In-fact if the world leaders would just listen to him then we wouldn't have half the wars going on or the undeclared wars going on! I find his advice here about getting over depression by getting out in the community to be very true. I tried this a year ago and it worked. Several people I've met tried this same solution and met with great success. One person told me without even know what the Dalai Lama had said. They were told by their physiologist to get out and mingle with people. They were able to get off all their meds. I found all the information useful and found it applicable in my life. I recommend this book and all the rest in the series.

For those that want Happiness in their lives

This book explained a lot. I enjoyed it very much. Well worth it if you are seeking some answers around happiness.

Cooperation of Two Worlds

Combining the scientific minded Cutler with the spiritual Dalai Lama creates a grand adventure into happiness.
