Peace thru truth seeker
An absolute must read for those seeking truth and peace. Much wisdom in this book by this lovely man. Should be a guide for life to all, espically those who need their eyes & hearts openned.

The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace
No matter what your belief system, The Dalai Lama is a man to be respected. His life has served as an example of peace and the willingness to speak up for the betterment of all people. His life story is extremely interesting: born into a large peasant family, discovered to be the reincarnation of The previous Dalai Lamas, trained to be a monk, and then forced to leave his home so that he could bring his words to the world.

The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace covers a wide variety of topics including some of The Dalai Lama's childhood memories and concerns as he faced exile. Other sections detail the political upheaval in Tibet and the greater global issues that need to be addressed. For those new to Buddhism, The Dalai Lama introduces key concepts.

The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace is a fascinating book. I feel like I have a greater insight into The Dalai Lama both as a world leader and as a man.

The Best "Go With" Dalai Lama
This little volume is the perfect vademecum -- it goes with you. There is a little something of probably most everything written by His Holiness, serving as an accurate, short, and valuable overview of the Dalai Lama's life and teachings. If you have never read any of his works before, it is a wonderful introduction. If you have read most of his more involved writings, then it is an exquisite reminder of what you found valuable. For either purpose, I highly recommend it. I tend to carry mine around in a brief case for the few moments of quiet I can find. Better to nibble than to starve, so to speak. I tend to keep spare copies for friends who look "hungry".
