The Dalai Lama describes how to bring wisdom and compassion into daily life. He explores the fundamentals of the Buddha's teaching, from basic advice on how to deal with anger and other emotions, to the importance of compassion.
This book was pivotal for me as a beginning Dharma student and explains the fundamentals of Buddhism in a logically consistent way, and answered my basic questions on metaphysics. I found Art of Happiness too, uhh, pop culturey or something. Nargajuna was too heavy and way over my head. This book was perfect and I buy it for other friends who are really seeking to understand the Buddhist system. System meaning study+practice, religion+philosophy.
