Despite what society may sell you to believe, happiness is not attained through material goods, but rather is an attitude that is cultivated and sustained. His Holiness the Dalai Lama sits down with western psychiatrist Howard C. Cutler to discuss the concept of happiness, as it pertains to the modern occidental inhabitant. The book is a great introduction to the pragmatism of Buddhism and its relentless analysis of consciousness. Not steeped in esoteric phrasings or instruction, this book is truly an "easy" read from beginning to end. The knowledge contained is perfect for the western mind searching for a way out of the suffocating fog of modern life.
