Rating:  - An excellent book for finding inner peace
I highly reccomend this book to anybody searching for inner peace and happiness and a higher acceptance of all walks of people around us.

I don't mean this in a negative way, but the Dalai Lama is one of the few people in this world who has the luxury of spending his days pondering enlightenment, what it takes to be happy, etc. The result is a book that rocks your world and makes you rediscover what you're after in life.

In the book he raised more questions than a psychiatrist could raise and answered some of them which not even a neuroscientist would like to try. Life is not mysterious, but to be happy is. We need medical sciences definitely, but ... Read More
Rating: - Happiness - Combining East -West Perspectives
Happiness is a core state we all seek to achieve. Thanks, in part, to the Positive Psychology movement, happiness has taken center stage and is now the focus of a significant amount of attention. On a recent visit to a large, chain bookstore, I noticed one whole table devoted to books related to happiness. It appears that a happiness movement is underway.
It is said that happiness can be achieved through external and internal means. Happiness achieved through external means is, unfortunately, ... Read More
