In "The Art of Happiness", the Dalai Lama makes the serene principles of Buddhism accessible to the masses. The tome's simple principle -- that one can actually train the mind to be happy -- seems to be striking a chord with frazzled readers everywhere.

The discussion is surprisingly light on citations of Buddhist doctrine, relying mainly on the Dalai Lama's profound good sense and compassion, and Dr. Cutler's experience with patients and friends, so the advice here is highly accessible even to those with little or no familiarity with Buddhism. A smart, kind, hopeful book.

Over and over again, Cutler poses complicated psychological inquiries only to have the Dalai Lama offer responses that reach far beyond the parameters of the self. There really is such a thing as an art of happiness, and this is one of the best how-to books a reader will ever find.

"The Art of Happiness at Work", like its predecessor, is a report of conversations between psychiatrist Howard Cutler and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Their first collaboration, "The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living" was a bestseller, and prompted many questions for the author about how the art of happiness could be cultivated in the face of so many day-to-day difficulties.

Practical achievement should be exhilarating, the Nobel laureate says, as long as work is a calling -- whether that calling is to serve others, work in government or provide for family by practicing corporate law.
