A review by katejolley
The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama XIV

3.0

ENJOYABLE self-help book with a quite exhaustive list of seemingly simple ways to achieve the feeling we all strive for in life: happiness. Cutler’s writing style was a bit juvenile for my taste, but I’ve considered that fact that it was written that way to be approachable for all (not just the literary buffs). I haven’t read enough self-help books to know if that is a theme among them. At the heart of it all are suggestions and meditations that can be used to calm the mind and spirit, a practice with which I think we could all use a little help. Appropriately subtitled “A Handbook for Living,” it’s definitely a book to come back to in times of need.
