-H.H Dalia Lama"I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness"
Wise words that everyone should look up to. this time I'm reading a book from a genre that it's still a little unknown to me. The Art of Happiness: A Handbook For Living is the current book that I'm reading. You can say I'm kind of reading a self- help book yes. I've just started it but I feel like every time I read a sentence, I'm learning something new. The chapter I've read so far explains how the author Howard Cutler is going to have several meetings with His Holiness so he can share all the information on how to have a happier life and the difference between an un-happy and happy person. According to Dalia Lama a happy person tends to be more sociable and creative than an un-happy person. Cutler gives distinct scenarios on how people react to certain obstacles depending on their current moods. If a person just stepped out of a comedy show, he is more likely to give money to a homeless person than someone who has not being affected emotionally by any means. “Happiness is determined more by one’s state of mind than by external events". Cutler gives two great examples how this quote can not be anymore accurate and the outcome is really eye opening. Dalia Lama's intent is to help you be happy! He is aware of all his surroundings and the technology that is now leading our world so he wants people to not forget the simple things in life because you do not want to notice how unhappy you are when it is too late to change it.
The patterns of organization is basically in order of importance. First they tell you the most important idea: How to be happy and then they say how to keep it that way.
