About this listen

 HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA REVEALS THE KEY TO ACHIEVING HAPPINESS AND A MEANINGFUL LIFE.

In How to See Yourself as You Really Are, the world's foremost Buddhist leader teaches listeners how to recognize and dispel misguided notions of self and embrace the world from a more realistic -- and loving -- perspective.

Step-by-step exercises help listeners shatter their false assumptions and ideas and see the world as it actually exists. His Holiness sets the stage for discovering the reality behind appearances. But getting past one's misconceptions is only a prelude to right action, and the final section describes how to harness the power of meditative concentration to the service of love, and vice versa, so that true altruistic enlightenment is attained. Enlivened by personal anecdotes and intimate accounts of the Dalai Lama's own life experiences, How to See Yourself as You Really Are is an inspirational and empowering guide to achieving self-awareness that can be enjoyed by spiritual seekers of all faiths.©2006 His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Good book. Some of the things are a bit difficult to understand and grasp. But his summary in the end highlights everything nicely

The context is probably good but it’s so boringly read that you’ll have a hard time staying awake with the way he reads it! Sad really!

You have to try hard to stay awake!

I’ve been a big fan of many books in this genre. Sadly and despite making numerous attempts I couldn’t get through this book.
The reader is clearly an academic. The reading of the book was very dry. The content was judgemental, naive and seemed to be lacking understanding of implementation.
I must confess that I could only get through 40 minutes. Perhaps there was some real gold later in the book. But nothing about the first 40 minutes resembled the enlightened teachings of the Dalai Lama that I’ve become accustomed to.

Painful to listen to
