As a psychiatrist, I had been burdened by notions such as Freud’s belief that the intention that man should be ‘happy’ is not included in the plan of ‘Creation.’ The concept of achieving true happiness has always seemed ill defined, elusive, and difficult. The Dalai Lama’s statement that the purpose of life is to seek happiness raised a question in my mind. It made me realize how society corrupts people’s values and how much his beliefs correlate with Native American traditional beliefs. The authors sought to bring the discussion to the basic human level, where distinctions between people break down.The Art of Happiness was published a decade ago, but few knew the Dalai Lama as a real human being.This book is about the concept of happiness and how we obstruct it with our immaterial and superficial beliefs.
