I love that this CD recording of the Dalai Lama's quotes is broken down into 10-15 minute sets. Perfect timing for a short morning meditation or before bedtime relaxation. The readers have wonderfully soothing voices and the passages chosen are poignant, thought-provoking and spiritually uplifting. Wonderful CD set!

I love the Dalai Lama's teachings and writings, so I already knew I would probably like this book. I have truly enjoyed this one, and I continue to every day. Each day, the book offers a short but very insightful piece of wisdom. It makes you think and feel good to read it, and over time it becomes easier to see things in a better light. I found myself feeling more calm, not fretting the small things, enjoying little moments more. I would recommend this to anyone, of any religion, who wants to think more positively about life in general.

This reviewer finds that the product works quite well for reminding him about the spiritual side to life, but wishes the wisdom would continue for more than three CD's, as they seem a bit short. Repeating the albums works for some time, but the reviewer gets distracted by music stations and songs such as Black Sabbath's "I Sold my Soul for Rock and Roll", which do nothing for the reviewer's spiritual growth but he finds that it is a timeless classic.

All in all, this is recommended for keeping yourself in touch with more important things, like self development, and inner awareness. It also inspired the reviewer to learn more about Buddhism, but found that he could not force himself to believe that there is more than one lifetime for each creature. He couldn't discount the notion, but nor was he able to prove it to himself.

So the path continues...

This is good to read every morning, an inspiration from Dalai Lama. It is short however but can be use over and over again.

This book is a daily reader. The author's words are at once educational, spiritual, and humane. Whatever we failed to learn through our formal or informal education and religious training can be made up for in this book.

I cannot envision ever outgrowing this book. For, as I grow and develop through the years, the words will have different meanings for me.
