The Art of Happiness In a Troubled World by the Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler

I liked the first book in this series so much because it was such a new concept: the idea of a religion which did not look down upon other religions or even on not believing. It look a secular approach to showing how compassion and empathy could improve your life, rather than being instructed to do so as a moral and religious imperative. This book attempts to update and improve on the first. Cutler does a reasonable job with informing on the latest in happiness psychology and research. He is able to extract some nuggets from the Dalai Lama over his several interview visits. But I couldn't help but think that I might have gotten more out of a reread of the original book.
