A pocket guide that captures the essence of the Dalai Lama's phenomenally successful Art of Happiness.

In The Art of Happiness, the Dalai Lama brought to an enthusiastic and grateful public his philosophy on achieving a happy life. A collaboration with a Western psychiatrist, it was the the Dalai Lama's first inspirational book for a Western audience. Through meditations, stories and the convergence of Buddhism and psychology, the Dalai Lama showed how to deal with day-to-day depression, anxiety, anger, jealousy, or just a bad mood day. He discussed relationships, health, family and work and showed us how to ride through life s obstacles on a deep and abiding inner source of peace.

The Essence of Happiness makes it possible to access the Dalai Lamai's essential tenets of happiness anywhere, anytime. The perfect gift, it is also a perfect companion to The Art of Happiness.

About the Author

His Holiness the Dalai Lama was born on July 6, 1935, to a poor farming family in northeastern Tibet. At the age of two he was recognised as the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, the fourteenth in a succession dating back six hundred years. At age six he began his lifelong training as a Buddhist monk. Since 1959, he has lived in exile from Tibet in Dharamsala, India. His tireless efforts on behalf of human rights, world peace, and basic human values have brought him international recognition.

He is the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize and a U.S. Congressional Gold Medal. For more information about the Dalai Lama, including his schedule of teachings, visit: www.dalailama.com.
