During privately scheduled interviews, Dr. Cutler asked His Holiness questions pertinent to psychological problems of everyday western life, questions that came up with his clients and himself. This is a rare opportunity to keenly observe the Dalai Lama and his replies. As these discussions bring up Tibetan Buddhist beliefs, the psychiatrist at first thinks them naive and simplistic. However, when tried out in the world, he is surprised to find them deeply profound and valuable. How can we expect to find happiness and meaning in our lives when the modern world seems such an unhappy place?His Holiness the Dalai Lama has suffered enormously throughout his life, yet he always seems to be smiling and serene. How does he do it? In The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World, Dr. Cutler walks readers through the Dalai Lama’s philosophy on how to achieve peace of mind and come to terms with life’s inherent suffering. Together, the two examine the roots of many of the problems facing the world and show us how we can approach these calamities in a way that alleviates suffering, and helps us along in our personal quests to be happy. Through stories, meditations, and in-depth conversations, the Dalai Lama teaches readers to identify the cultural influences and ways of thinking that lead to personal unhappiness, making sense of the hardships we face personally, as well as the afflictions suffered by others.the mp3 version is already can be found here
