An extremely interesting and inspiring book that provides many of the Dalai Lama's insights into what it takes to be happy in today's world. The excerpts of interviews with His Holiness are read by Ernest Abuda (since the Dalai Lama's English is sometimes hard to understand). They're woven together into a whole by Howard Cutler, and MD who, to be perfectly honest, doesn't add a heck of a lot to the book. Although there are many references to the Buddhist teachings, the Dalai Lama stresses that the basic "techniques" can be used by all people, of any religion or no religion.
