" Read this one after reading the first. It isn't as good, but it was still worth reading. I think "The Art . . . in a Troubled World" might have more potential. "

" I am listening to this book as a book-on-tape and am finding it helpful. Hopefully I will be able to practice some analytical meditation to help me deal with certain coworker/s I tend to dislike. I am also hoping that this technique will allow me to put some of my other worries to rest. I suppose time will tell, but I'd definitely recommend it! It's 6 hours, unabridged, on audio so it'd probably be quicker if you were just reading it as a regular book. "

" I need to revisit this periodically. It is interesting as I have not read any other text from a western spiritual perspective that comes close to the depth and considerations of this book. "

" Anything the Dalai Lama says is enriching and engaging. The skeptical angle from the author, however, was a bit frustrating over the course of the book with his commentary, and I rather wanted to leave his angle completely out and just hear the sweet voice of the Dalai Lama. "

" I really enjoyed reading the Dalai Lama's perspective. However, I feel that he just has no concept of what it is like to live and work in the Western world. He never has, of course, so it is hard for me to find what he says helpful in any practical sort of way. "

" Good, though I felt like it isn't so much by the Dalai Lama as it is about his philosophies as they apply to a Western person's work life. Still, I feel like my work life has improved a bit. "

" Some decent insights, but I guess I mainly don't like the author's conversational tone for the book. Plus, all the ideas are much more powerful as a general practice than when just focusing in on your work. "

" This turned out to be a good book to listen to on my road trip. It surprised me at how much of the information was common sense that had never crossed my mind. So even though I think outside the box my common sense must have slipped back in. "
