ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living" by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler, M.D., explores the concept of happiness as an achievable goal rather than a matter of chance. The book blends Eastern Buddhist philosophy with Western psychological insights. It emphasizes the importance of inner transformation and mental well-being as the key to lasting happiness, suggesting that while external factors play a role, our own thoughts and feelings have the greatest impact. The book also discusses the significance of human warmth, compassion and connection, and how to deal with suffering by changing our perspective and finding meaning in it. Ultimately, it offers a method for cultivating happiness through spiritual values and daily practices.
