The Art Of Happiness
What is happiness? How does each and everyone of us define happiness? How is happiness attained? Is it possible to be happy? I am seeking the answers to these Questions.
Last weekend, I went to Kinokuniya to and got a book titled "The Art Of Happiness" written by Howard C. Cutler, a psychiatrist in the states and HH Dalai Lama, a spiritual leader of the tibetian people. This book is recommended to me by my uncle. My uncle read this book when he was going through the downest and most miserable part of his life. He said he learnt to become happier and see problems in another perspective and that made him felt better. "The Art Of Happiness" is translated in 26 different languages, sold worldwide and is an International bestseller.
Generally, this book is about Dr Howard getting to know Dalai Lama, learning from him on experiences about life and such. Incooperating eastern spiritual traditions and the western perspective, revealing how one can find balance and complete mental and spiritual freedom.
I've just started to read it, I do feel it somehow changes one's perspective in viewing problems. Try this, instead of comparing how much better others are or how things could be better, think of how much worse it could be, think of others who are in a more sorry state than you and then reflect on all the things that you have and is enjoying. You would find that your sense of satisfaction in life increases and you become a happier person.
Got this book for Christine also, as her 21st birthday present. Hmm..quite cheapskate huh...I deemed many others would be giving all sorts of jewelleries, all kinda decor stuff and such, so I got her a book which I guess nobody would do that. Hopefully she will find the book useful and find her own happiness from within.
Will write more about the book when im done reading it.
"A wise man speaks because he has something to say,
A fool speaks because he has to say something."
Wei Wen has something to say.
