Format:Paperback
I was worried that this book may be a bit deep, but it is easy to follow. the principles are laid out in an easy to follow fashion too. I found the principles very comforting at a time of stress and family illness. our interpretation of events are often very exaggerated - and when we look at life from a different perspective, it is easier to see things more positively.

after reading this book,i cant say i see myself any different than before,but i did learn new ways to see things around me,and by seeing them differently than before i can control myself far better,not getting so annoyed at stupid things at work,so give it a try it might help you.

Format:Hardcover
Be well warned ; this little book is , @ times , very hard going ( progressivly with each chapter ). However , there is a very good reason for this : the teachings a given very succinctly and they are/appear to be rather profound explainations of extremly important buddhist concepts .
That said , this book has proven to be of great help to my understanding of impermanence and the role thought plays in our view of reality . After reading this book i feel i understand a few others much better ; i now "know" one meaning of what , previously , opaque comments were intended to convey .
Highly recomended .

heavy reading
I had to put it down a lot and read in small segments as it's quite full of Buddhist jargon and repeats itself a l bit to reinforce core ideas. Read more

Not the typical Dalai Lama Book
I have read a number of Dalai Lama's book and find them easy to read and very, very inspiring. But this one I do not understand - it is nonsense to me. Read more

title is misleading
this is more of a know the human race than know yourself (which of course you then kind of do as your human but its not specific to yourself). Read more

Valuable for everyone
This is a great book irrespective of ones own religious belief. As ever, The Dalai Lama demonstrates his unsurpassed ability to communicate truth and love through words.
