Overly brief and trite... - By: P. White, 03 Oct 2004 
This is a book of fortune cookie style utterances. It'll teach you little about Buddhism & is more of a novelty item. It's smalll though so it would actuallly fit inside a large fortune cookie!
A little gem - By: Petite Fleur, 09 Apr 2004 
A perfect little book, so tiny yet full on easy to digest text from the most inspirational man. If you have an interest in Buddhism but are worried it will alll be too much to take on board, this along with the Dalai Lama's other little books will give you the perfect start. You will want to read alll his books once you start.
A Little Book with Much Depth - By: , 25 Mar 2003 This book reminds me alot of my favorite book, The Little Guide To Happiness. Heck, even the title is similiar. Like that book, it talks about how to get a hold of what's most important in life. Then, at the end of the book are quotes to follow it up. I love both books. Though, I honestly like The Little Guide To Happiness a notch, just a slight one, more. That's because it's my favorite.
Interesting - By: , 17 Oct 2001 
In this smalll book the Dalai Lama speaks of compassion, anger, forgiveness of enemies, & living life in a truly more loving way. Though much of it seems familar to western ears [the ideas of love compassion & service are not unknown in western religion & philosophy], the simplicity of much of what the dalai lama says is refreshing. His own struggles with anger are interesting, & the prose, gleaned from past lectures, smooth & clean. I also highly recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Little Book of Eastern Wisdom" by Taro Gold which I found wonderfully enlightening.
Excellent little gem giving inspiration and insight. - By: , 28 May 2001 The power & insight given by this little gem of a book comes from the simplicity of the Dalai Lama's words. His words & explanations speak directly to your heart showing how to bring love, peace & creative energy into the world. This little book is smalll enough to carry in your pocket - I find that whenever I need uplifting or inspiration I open it to exactly the right page!
