About the author
Dalai Lama XIV
1,557 books6,328 followersJetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso (born Lhamo Döndrub), the 14th Dalai Lama, is a practicing member of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism and is influential as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the world's most famous Buddhist monk, and the leader of the exiled Tibetan government in India.
Tenzin Gyatso was the fifth of sixteen children born to a farming family. He was proclaimed the tulku (an Enlightened lama who has consciously decided to take rebirth) of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of two.
On 17 November 1950, at the age of 15, he was enthroned as Tibet's ruler. Thus he became Tibet's most important political ruler just one month after the People's Republic of China's invasion of Tibet on 7 October 1950. In 1954, he went to Beijing to attempt peace talks with Mao Zedong and other leaders of the PRC. These talks ultimately failed.
After a failed uprising and the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959, the Dalai Lama left for India, where he was active in establishing the Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan Government in Exile) and in seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among the thousands of refugees who accompanied him.
Tenzin Gyatso is a charismatic figure and noted public speaker. This Dalai Lama is the first to travel to the West. There, he has helped to spread Buddhism and to promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006, and the United States Congressional Gold Medal on 17 October 2007.

Me esperaba más de este libro, no por lo que dice Dalai Lama, sino por el formato. No ha llegado a entusiasmarme ni tenía especialmente ganas de coger el libro y seguir leyendo.
El formato no me ha gustado mucho ya que son fragmentos de entrevistas de Howard Cutler (el psiquiatra autor del libro) a Dalai Lama en distintas ocasiones.
Dicho esto, ha habido partes más interesantes en las que Dalai Lama ofrece consejos realmente aplicables a la vida real. Me ha gustado la forma tan humana genuina y real con la que Dalai Lama enseña sus conocimientos sobre la espiritualidad y budismo. Muchas veces con figuras tan reconocidas en el mundo de la espiritualidad acaban dando consejos no realistas para los mortales normales.

Siempre había tenido curiosidad por el contenido y el formato, me atrapó que existiera esta dualidad entre la espiritual y la práctica científica, entre la forma de ver el mundo oriental y occidental, es un libro que me dejó mucho aprendizaje qué con ejemplos claros y reales me hizo cuestionar mis métodos, quizá no es un libro para aquel que no está dispuesto a abrir su mente y aún no sabe que puede ser feliz. Es un libro que parte desde la duda y termina en el camino de la compasión :)

Este libro habla de las entrevistas tenidas con el Dalai Lama, habla del amor de lo importante de nuestras vidas.
Me ha parecido un libro muy básico, bueno para recordar las cosas importantes de la vida.
