Read in January, 2006
recommends it for: no one
Speeches of the Dalai Lama that were taken out of context and put out in this annoying little book. Unless you are a Buddhist scholar, most of the material will make no sense, because much material is assumed to be familiar to the reader. Blech.

recommends it for: everyone regardless of religious, race or shoe size.
Dalai Lama in a nutshell! This book reminds me somewhat of "Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten".Remember that one? Truly simple but profound advice in a concise little book.

This book was a gift from my sister. It is a very small book, perfect for setting on a bedside table. Inside are many lovely and inspiring quotes from His Holiness.

The best of all his books - small but big ideas. Unfortunately, it's out of print, so if you can find it, grab it!
