Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Being Happy at Work - Go Figure
This book resulted from an earlier work, The Art of Happiness, written by the same authors which took a more global look at the issue of happiness. Why look at the issue of happiness at work? A 2005 study by the Gallup Organization shows that just 20% of us are passionate about the work we do. A terrible statistic given that we spend at least one-third (and in many cases much more) of our day working.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Mostly Common Sense about the Workplace
I have read quite a few books by the Dalai Lama and/or co-written by the Dalai Lama and, unfortunately, this is my least favorite.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Cutler reprise
Once again Dr. Cutler and the publishers have listed the Dalai Lama as first author although this book like the previous one was written by Cutler and not the Dalai Lama.

There are many other excellent books actually written by the Dalai Lama.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I found my peace at work..
The Dalai Lama encourages the daily grind to become peaceful. Good for those with stressful positions.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cultivating Harmony At Work
After much success with his first book in collaboration with the Dalai Lama, The Art of Happiness, Howard Cutler decided to write another book. In this book Cutler wanted to explore some ideas and topics not touched upon in the first one. Namely, since work takes up an overwhelming amount of the day for most people, how can we find happiness at work? After all, most of us cannot sit around all day in a cave without venturing out into the real world. If we have no practical way to take our spiritual practice ... Read More
