The Art of Happiness
The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living (buy from Amazon) by Howard C. Cutler
Type: Self-improvement
Author: Dalai Lama, Howard C. Cutler
My rating: 3
Posted by Dominic
Book introduction:
A Dalai Lama's view on happiness and how to achieve it with Howard Cutler adding his own intepretation.
My review:
The book suggests the purpose of life is to seek happiness, the true kind of happiness is not the selfish kind and true happiness can be inspiring to other people. It has some suggestion on how one can achieve happiness by becoming more compassionate. Prety interesting views and with some analysis on factors that affect happiness i.e. why people are not happy at times.
