About the Author

The exiled 14th Dalai Lama was born on July 6, 1935 to a peasant family living in a former Tibetan village. He was recognized as the reincarnation of the previous spiritual leader of his nation at the age of two and enthroned on February 22, 1940. In 1959 he and 100,000 followers fled the country following a failed revolt against the Communist Chinese forces that had occupied Tibet for almost a decade. Since that time, the Dalai Lama has met with numerous world leaders and U. N. officials in a tireless effort to free his country and preserve the traditional Tibetan way of life. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 and has been awarded honorary citizenships by many international cities and countries, as well as multiple honorary degrees and human rights awards. In 2007 the Dalai Lama received the United States Congressional Gold Medal. He has written many books and lectures around the world.Medical Doctor Howard C. Butler received his certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and currently has a private psychiatry practice in Arizona. After meeting the brother of the Dalai Lama while studying Tibetan medicine, Cutler formed an alliance with his new found friend and wrote the book, The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living.
