Words of the author Howard C. Cutler

This book gathers the extensive conversations maintained with the Dalai Lama. The private interviews that I had with him in Arizona and India obeyed to the intention to collaborate in the project to present their points of view about how to have a happier life, complemented with my observations and commentaries from the perspective view of a western psychiatrist. Kindly, the Dalai Lama allowed me to transmit the ideas that I thought were more suitable. I considered also that the narrative should favour the reading and the understanding of the reader, and allow to show how the Dalai Lama incorporates his ideas to his own daily life. Therefore, and having the approval of the Dalai Lama, I have organized this book according to the content, which has taken me time to combine and integrate extracted materials of different conversations. It was necessary to me, in order to clarity the integration of this, to introduce material coming from the conferences pronounced by him in Arizona, counting with his approval. Doctor Thupten Jinpa, interpreter of the Dalai Lama, kindly reviewed the final manuscript to make sure no distortions of the ideas of the Dalai Lama had taken place, as a result of the publishing process. I have presented personal histories to illustrate the ideas that are analyzed here. In order to maintain the confidentiality and to protect the privacy, I have changed in each case, the names and altered details and identification characteristics of the actual people.
