The Art of Happiness is a highly accessible guide for a Western audience, combining the Dalai Lama's Eastern spiritual tradition with Dr Howard C. Cutler's Western perspective. Covering all key areas of human experience, they apply the principles of Tibetan Buddhism to everyday problems and reveal how one can find balance and complete spiritual and mental freedom. For the many who wish to understand more about the Dalai Lama's approach to living, there has never been a book which brings his beliefs so vividly into the real world.

How different spiritual practices cross over or come to similar conclusions

I liked most of audio book because it came along at exactly the right time for me… I would definitely recommend it for people wanting to look deeper within, and keep an open and compassionate mind.

Easy listen with good content

A fair bit of information to take in and I found the different perspective enlightening. It was an easy listen for me. Relating stories to real life examples was great.
