The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living - Dalai Lama
The Art of Happiness pairs genuine Buddhist philosophy with clinical psychiatric perspective, co-written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama alongside psychiatrist Dr. Howard Cutler. That combination gives the book a distinctive structure, blending spiritual teaching with a Western medical lens on wellbeing and contentment.
Rather than religious doctrine, the book approaches happiness as a genuinely learnable skill, drawing on conversations between the Dalai Lama and Dr. Cutler across a range of everyday life challenges. For readers wanting a practical, cross-cultural perspective on wellbeing, this collaborative structure offers real breadth beyond a single viewpoint.
