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. |
