Healing Anger: The Power of Patience from a Buddhist Perspective
$14.95
This book and "The Art of Happiness" have pretty much the same content, so don't buy both. "Healing Anger" is organized in the form of eight talks and question-and-answer sessions over a four day period, whereas "The Art of Happiness" is organized topically. For this reason "The Art of Happiness" may be easier to use if you are interested in exploring particular topics. The downside of "The Art of Happiness" for me was Howard Cutler. I found his additions to what the Dalai Lama has to say didn't bring much value. What I was looking for in both books was mental exercises, and these are found in "Healing Anger" in each of the eight sessions in between the talk and the Q&A, so these are easier to find in "Healing Anger". I was a bit disappointed that neither book contained detailed treatments of some of the exercises referred to, such as the "seven-point cause and effect" and "equalization and exchange". These can be found on the internet by googling "Developing the Mind of Great Capacity".

The Art of Happiness, 10th Anniversary Edition: A Handbook for Living

Visit my Blog if you like my review: [...]

The Art of Happiness is a book born from the interviews of the author (a psychiatric named Dr Howard C. Cutler) with his Holiness the Dalai Lama.

The author tries to fill the whole book with some (mostly brilliant) Dalai Lama's declarations, made in their interviews and in his public appearances.

It's true that there are some interesting thoughts in the book (mainly in the first part: The Purpose of Live), but the rest of the book has a lack of intensity.

The Dalai Lama seems a very interesting person, but the author doesn't have the ability to suck the juice of those declarations, and the best part of the book are transcriptions of the own Dalai Lama's words.

I don't recommend the reading of this book, however, some Dalia Lama's ideas are excellent.
