This got very repetitive, and ultimately I think the issue is Dr. Cutler was trying to get the Dalai Lama to opine on a subject he isn't an expert on. The Dalai Lama doesn't know how to be a happy cog in a capitalist wheel, anymore than Dr. Cutler knows how to be a Buddhist monk. I think if they'd leaned into that and explored that more, this might have been a satisfying book - but it would have needed a different title entirely.
