Book Summary: The Art of Happiness At Work






What does the Dali Lama
 have to do with work anyways? You may ask that or you may wonder what is the wisdom waiting for you to be uncovered in this book so you can work happily ever after.
The truth is really between the two statements. The Dali Lama has the wisdom to guide you with more than few tips but don’t expect a cosmic change. In this book at least.
The book is really a conversation with the Dali Lama where Howard Cutler, a writer and psychologist handles the questions and answers sessions. Howard is long time devotee to the Dali and met with him on few occasions before so don’t expect challenging questions, just a conversation.
Note on the audio version, the conversation is not narrated by the Dali Lama but by someone who is mimicking the way the Dali speaks. Howard read however, his part.
I do wish that Howard speak less than he did. He does have good and fresh ideas but the book is primarily to know more from the Dali lama’s perspective.
Below are few pointers from the book I find useful and/or interesting, followed by my ratings summary:
