From the authors who brought you the million-copy bestseller "The
Art of Happiness" comes an exploration of job, career, and finding
the ultimate happiness at work.
It spent nearly two years on the "New York Times" bestseller list
and has sold well over a million copies in hardcover. It remains,
five years later, in its original hardcover edition. It was the
book by the Dalai Lama that broke new ground, that made him
accessible to a larger audience, spreading his words of daily
wisdom and message of inner peace that captured the imagination of
America. His Holiness the Dalai Lama, for the first time since that
revolutionary book, has once again teamed up with psychiatrist
Howard Cutler to resume the discussion about what makes life
meaningful begun in "The Art of Happiness."
Over the past several years, Howard Cutler has continued his
conversations with the Dalai Lama, asking him the questions we all
want answered about how to find happiness in the place we spend
most of our time. Work-whether it's in the home or at an office-is
what mostly runs our lives. We depend on it to eat, to clothe and
shelter ourselves, and to take care of our families. Once again,
Dr. Cutler brings forward seminal studies and asks the Dalai Lama
to respond. Beginning with a direct correlation between
productivity and happiness, Dr. Cutler questions His Holiness about
the nature of work. In psychiatry and according to the Dalai Lama,
our motivation for working determines our level of satisfaction.
The book explores these three levels of focus:
Survival focus on salary, stability, food and clothing
Career focus on advancement
Calling focus on work as a higher purpose
Cutler probes the Dalai Lama's wisdom by posing these questions:
How does the relationship between our personal values and those of
our employers affect happiness? What is the relationship between
self-awareness and work? What are the main sources of
dissatisfaction and how can we cope with them? How do we deal with
conflicts with coworkers and bosses? How do we deal with jealousy,
anger, or hostility at work? How does the lack of freedom affect
our levels of happiness? How do we deal with boredom or lack of
challenge? Unfair criticism? Overly demanding or taxing situations?
Job change and unemployment?
Once again, Cutler walks us through the Dalai Lama's reasoning so
that we know how to apply the wisdom to daily life. This practical
application of Buddhist ideas is an invaluable source of strength
and peace for anyone who earns a living.
The Dalai Lama's most recent book, "The Wisdom of Compassion," is
now available from Riverhead Books.
