The little book of wisdom is probably one the most concise books on personal mental health you can get. Whilst there are many books out there of the same genre , what makes this little book stand out is it's easiness to read. Although written from the perspective of a Buddhist , it does not criticise any religion or indeed asks that you believe in Buddhism , only that you are aware of just how much control you have over your own thinking & life's direction.
If approached with an open mind , one can easily see the ultimate message regardless of personal beliefs. Produced in a way where it can be read as a sort of daily affirmation, I found this book to be of great help towards a better understanding of myself , my place in this world & everyone & everything around me. The self , being the one true relationship where once understood , puts most if not all things into their proper perspectives is what this book intends to do in a simple , concise way. I often find myself buying this book for many people I know & meet who seem to be at a point in their lives where they need some help with regards to their personal well being , with a suprising degree of success. In some small measure it helped them everyday difficulties which with an unhealthy mind can become intricate & un-necessarily problematic. This book is not a magic wand , but if the teachings are applied to everyday thinking can certainly lead to a healthier frame of mind , which in the end , is what we all could do with. I would recommend the Dalai Lama's little book of wisdom to anyone even mildly intersted in promoting within themselves &/or others a healthy way of thinking & living. It has certainly helped me.
