Anyone who designs anything to be used by humans--from physical objects to computer programs to conceptual tools--must read this book, and it is an equally tremendous read for anyone who has to use anything created by another human. It could forever change how you experience and interact with your physical surroundings, open your eyes to the perversity of bad design and the desirability of good design, and raise your expectations about how things should be designed.

Dieser Titel ist in englischer Sprache.
Haben Sie sich jemals gefragt, wie es wohl wäre, den Dalai Lama über die wirklich beharrlichen Lebensfragen zu interviewen? Warum sind so viele Menschen unglücklich? Wie kann man Einsamkeit bewältigen? Wie kann man Konflikte vermeiden? Was ist die wirkliche Liebe? Warum leidet man? Wie soll man mit Ungerechtigkeiten und Wut umgehen? Wie gehen Sie selbst mit dem Tod eines geliebten Menschen um? Diese und andere Rätselfragen stellt der Psychiater Howard Cutler dem Dalai Lama während einer langen Periode von Interviews in The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living.

Am Anfang erscheinen die Antworten des Dalai Lama sehr simpel, wie das oberflächliche Lesen eines Buches von Robert Fulghum. Frag Dich selbst, ob Du wirklich etwas brauchst; unsere Feinde können unsere Lehrer sein; Mitgefühl bringt dem Geist Frieden. Doch Cutler ist hartnäckig: Viele Leute mit großem Besitz sind aber auch glücklich; Und "das Leben ist Leiden" klingt so pessimistisch; Aber das Extreme zu suchen, bedeutet wahre Lebensfreude, aber was ist, wenn ich nicht an Karma glaube? Je mehr der Dalai Lama sich engagiert, desto mehr bildet sich eine kohärente Philosophie heraus.

Cutler verarbeitet die Antworten des Dalai Lama im Zusammenhang mit wissenschaftlichen Studien und Fällen aus seiner eigenen Arbeit. Er erarbeitet und untermauert eine Psychologie, die er als revolutionär bezeichnet. Wie jede andere Kunst auch, verlangt Glückseligkeit, daß man lernt und auch immer wieder übt -- das Talent liegt auf jeden Fall in unserer Natur, versichert der Dalai Lama. --Brian Bruya

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit down with the Dalai Lama and really press him about life's persistent questions? Why are so many people unhappy? How can I abjure loneliness? How can we reduce conflict? Is romantic love true love? Why do we suffer? How should we deal with unfairness and anger? How do you handle the death of a loved one? These are the conundrums that psychiatrist Howard Cutler poses to the Dalai Lama during an extended period of interviews in The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living. At first, the Dalai Lama's answers seem simplistic, like a surface reading of Robert Fulghum: ask yourself if you really need something; our enemies can be our teachers; compassion brings peace of mind. Cutler pushes: but some people do seem happy with lots of possessions; but "suffering is life" is so pessimistic; but going to extremes provides the zest in life; but what if I don't believe in karma? As the Dalai Lama's responses become more involved, a coherent philosophy takes shape. Cutler then develops the Dalai Lama's answers in the context of scientific studies and cases from his own practice, substantiating and elaborating on what he finds to be a revolutionary psychology. Like any art, the art of happiness requires study and practice--and the talent for it, the Dalai Lama assures us, is in our nature. --Brian Bruya
