Lessons from the book “Art of happiness”

Lessons from the book “Art of happiness”:

“Art of happiness” written by 14th Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler .

“Art of happiness” is a book by the 14th Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler, a psychiatrist who posed questions to the Dalai Lama. Cutler quotes the Dalai Lama at length, providing context and describing some details of the settings in which the interviews took place, as well as adding his own reflections on issues raised.^[1]

The book explores training the human outlook that alters perception. The concepts that the purpose of life is happiness, that happiness is determined more by the state of one’s mind than by one’s external conditions, circumstances, or events—at least once one’s basic survival needs are met and that happiness can be achieved through the systematic training of our hearts and minds.^[2][3]

In this blog, I have shared Lessons from the book “Art of happiness”.

1. Universal compassion

It is the way to live a healthy and happy life.

2. Love

Romantic love at Western concept may be limited and it is often not enough for a stable relationship.

3. Religious beliefs

Although the religious beliefs for happiness may reap the benefits, you can still find basic spirituality without them.

4. Attitude & Happiness

Learn to change your attitude and find happiness in every situation.

5. Sadness

Being sad is a part of your life, but we often pay more attention to it unnecessarily.

6. Anger

Analyze your anger, hatred feelings and remove it and avoid them with patience.

7. Meditation

By meditating on your thoughts, by being motivated and honest, you can get rid of honesty – trouble and weak confidence.

That’s all . Don’t forget to love yourself. Happy reading 🙂
