His Holiness the Dalai Lama continues his interpretation of the ancient wisdom of the Buddha for the modern world. He speaks to us about the paths to self-realisation, and the need to overcome negative emotions in order to develop one's inner consciousness. Wise, compassionate and pragmatic, he offers advice on many everyday issues such as how best to free yourself from emotional afflictions and petty cravings, and how to transform anxiety and depression into contentment.
