A review by aussiegirlinuk
The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama XIV
2.0
After reading this book, I'm a little reluctant to be completely honest about it. I don't want to put 'negativity' out there (feels like it defeats the purpose of reading a book called "The Art of Happiness") but I was a little disappointed!
It must be said that I adored every snippet, sentence, reading and philosophical thought by the Dalai Lama within this book. I also loved the idea of then re-interpreting these musings to relate to the Western world and non-Buddhists. However, sadly, somewhere along the way, it lost some of its impact. At times I found the book to be more about Cutler than the actual art of happiness. As a result, I laboured to finish it.
Unsatisfied.
