  • Name a book that changed your mind or opened your eyes. See all answers
    • Reading 'The Art of Happiness' opened my eyes

    • This book, and by extension H.H. The Dalai Lama, is amazing. It opened my eyes to some fairly obvious but profound truths that very well may change your life. I recommend it for anyone who cares about their well-being. I recommend it for stress, ignorance, and stupidity. Please read this. Put it on your list. I've bought it three times, because I've given it to people who asked for a good book to read and I don't ask for it back, in the hopes that they will give it to someone else.

    I read one of those copies :) I still have it on my dresser and was actually going to give it back next time you come over, but it's been a while hah. The Art of Happiness taught me alot about The Dalai Lama (whom I knew nothing about prior to reading), myself (for reasons which became obvious to me throughout the book), and you! (your little penciled in notes taught me a little something extra about how you percieve yourself in the context of the world, which is very cool). I added some of my own little notes as well to things I found particularly applicable, or eye-opening. Since you don't mind "spreading the word" the first person to ask about the book, gets it :-)
