The Art of Happiness broke new ground, made the Dalai Lama accessible to a larger audience, spread his words of wisdom and message of inner peace, and captured the imagination of America. Now His Holiness the Dalai Lama has or again teamed up with psychiatrist Howard C. Cutler to resume the discussion he began in that seminal work about what makes life meaningful. Cutler has continued his conversations with the Dalai Lama, asking him the questions we time. Work--whether it's in the home or at an office--is what runs our lives. We depend on it to eat, to clothe and shelter ourselves, and to take care of our families. Beginning with a direct correlation between productivity and happiness, 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 three levels of focus: - Survival: focus on salary, stability, food, and clothing- Career: focus on advancement- Calling: focus on work as a higher purposeOnce again, Cutler walks us through the Dalai Lama's reasoning so that we know how to apply the wisdom to daily life. This is an invaluable source of strength and peace for anyone who earns a living.
