Title: Great As A Companion to Two Other Books
Review: I agree with most of the reviewers here. This book has some terrific insights. It can be very useful if it is considered alongside some books that are more focused on understanding human nature. The two best books in that area are Haidt's, The Happiness Hypothesis, and Wilson's, Healing The Unhappy Caveman.While Ricard is correct that getting outside of yourself is the key to happiness, most people will have a hard time succeeding at what he recommends without understanding what is built into the human mind and how to work with and around those "mental appliances."
