While I love reading about the Dalai Lama and hearing what he has to say, I did not care for the way Mr. Cutler arranged the book or his style of writing. I found the sections regarding Psychiatry/Psychology to be jarring after reading sections from the Dalai Lama. Maybe because I already feel I'm well grounded in knowledge of the way the Western "mind" thinks and how we tend to evaluate emotions, actions and thinking in an analytical way. I wanted more of the Lama's wisdom in dealing with happiness and life, and less of the western antidotes.
