Full of insights and very practical, this important book by the Dalai

Lama shows that self-knowledge is the key to personal development and

creating positive relationships

How to See Yourself As You Really Are

is based on a fundamental Buddhist belief that love and insight work

together to bring about enlightenment, like two wings of a bird. It

provides a new perspective on the psychological problems of hurting

ourselves through misguided, exaggerated notions of self, others, events

and physical things. It shows how even our senses deceive us, drawing

us into unwise attachments and negative actions that can only come back

to haunt us in the future.

Drawing on wisdom and techniques

refined in Tibetan monasteries for more than a thousand years, and

adopting as its structure traditional Buddhist steps of meditative

reflection, How to See Yourself As You Really Are includes practical exercises and gives readers a clear path to assess their growth and personal development.

The

book is enlivened throughout with warm personal anecdotes and intimate

accounts of the Dalai Lama's experiences as a life-long student, a

meditator, a political leader and an international figure working with

other Nobel Peace Laureates to address crises around the world.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibet. Today, he

lives in exile in Northern India and works tirelessly on behalf of the

Tibetan people, as well as travelling the world to give spiritual

teachings to sell-out audiences. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in

1989.
