A pocket guide that captures the essence of the Dalai Lama s phenomenally successful Art of Happiness.

In The Art of Happiness, the Dalai Lama brought to an enthusiastic and grateful public his philosophy on achieving a happy life.

He discussed relationships, health, family and work and showed us how to ride through life s obstacles on a deep and abiding inner source of peace.

The Essence of Happiness makes it possible to access the Dalai Lamai s essential tenets of happiness anywhere, anytime. The perfect gift, it is also a perfect companion to The Art of Happiness.
