A Force for Good: The Dalai Lama's Vision for Our World

For more than half a century, the Dalai Lama has guided us along the path to compassion and taught us how to improve our inner lives. In this insightful book, the New York Times bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence explains the Dalai Lama's methods for directing compassionate energy outward. This revelatory and inspiring work provides a singular vision for transforming the world in practical ways, from adopting sounder environmental practices, to turning our tendencies toward violence and isolationism into a feeling of human oneness. A longtime friend of the Dalai Lama's, Daniel Goleman conveys a very real sense of the spiritual leader as an individual and how he positively affects the people whom he meets.

"Far from being a self-help book, this examines specific ideas espoused by the Dalai Lama, such as emotional hygiene, compassionate economy, and education of the heart that can make the world a better place. An optimistic and thoughtful primer with practical applications."—Booklist
