Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World
by Dalai Lama XIV, Alexander Norman
by Dalai Lama XIV, Alexander Norman
I am a Goodreads First Reads winner of this book.
This is a great book for anyone interested in philosophy who wants a book as entertaining as it is intellectually challenging. Each new concept is backed up with anecdotes from the Dalai Lama's life, told "half-jokingly" in a way that doesn't fly over your head. I finished the book several hours ago, and I'm still thinking about everything His Holiness said about our common humanity and the place ethics has in society. Thank you for the great read!

I won it on Goodreads first-reads and have just started it. Even the introduction had wisdom and thought provoking statements. I had to grab a pen and underline some parts and I hardly ever do that.
