This book is a wonderful fusion of two perspectives - a Buddhist approach to solving the internal problems of the world's greatest spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, and the very accurate and important questions for the Western reader that psychologist and psychiatrist Howard Cutler asks him, as well as meditations offered by the Dalai Lama to solve psychological problems and achieve a state of happiness and peace with oneself, and examples from the practice of the psychotherapist Cutler.
