The Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler

6 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

The Art of Happiness

IDEA 1
Happiness depends on the mind
The Dalai Lama argues that the purpose of life is to be happy, and that happiness depends more on our state of mind than on what happens to us.
IDEA 2
Train the mind like a skill
Happiness can be learned. By steadily strengthening positive states like kindness and contentment and weakening harmful ones, the mind slowly changes.
IDEA 3
Warmth makes the giver happy
Compassion is not only good for others; it is the surest source of our own calm and confidence. A warm heart opens doors that fear keeps shut.
