Tibetan Art of Serenity: How to Heal Fear and Gain Contentment [Kindle Edition]

I think this book is just like making too many sequels for a good movie.
I got the book Tibetan art of positive thinking and it was great and i really recommend it but this one is just another way of re-chewing and recycling of everything you already got from The other books.
If you are collecting all of christopher hansards books so go ahead and buy it.
If you really want to get the best of this author go for the first books that came out and you basically got the whole philosophy there.

This was reviewed in the Guardian, and sounded intriguing, but I must confess that I haven't got round to reading it yet. No wonder I am not serene!

I started to read this book last week and found the first few pages readable and reasonably interesting, although the personal story of Hansards education by a Bon master you take with a pinch of salt. I then flicked ahead beyond some of the meditations and read snippets of other parts of the book and have been disappointed.

It seems to be the sort of book that anyone could write with a basic grounding in eastern religion and research into other self-help books. I have found much of what is said as obvious and the discussion of most of the points shallow. "Every one of us feels lonely at some point in our life" and " So many people are searching for love, that special connection with another person" are two examples of Hansards style. There is little depth, little to hold the attention.

When we buy a book we take it on faith that the publisher has checked the authors story. I don't think they have. I would recommend you stay clear of this title and opt for writing whose provenance is established.

Cheers
