This is a great book to own and reread!

Enlivened by personal anecdotes and intimate accounts of HH the Dalai Lama’s own life experiences, this book is an inspiration.

"The overarching theme is that self-knowledge is the key to personal development and positive relationships."

-Jeffrey Hopkins, Ph.D., translator & editor

We each possess the ability to achieve happiness and a meaningful life, but how can we recognize and dispel misguided notions of self and embrace the world from a more realistic -- and loving – perspective?

Step-by-step exercises help readers shatter their false assumptions and ideas and see the world as it actually exists. - inside cover

One of the best stories of the year!

An uplifting real-life adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.


In 1993 a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants’ kindness, he promised to return and build a school.

Three Cups of Tea is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools—especially for girls—in the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. – back cover

Mortenson’s genuine humility, down-to-earthness and commitment to help others makes for an inspiring read. This book comes highly recommended. Our first shipment of this book sold out. The second shipment has arrived.

When you finish reading it you will want to give copies to your family and friends!
