The power of humanity

Published on the occasion of the 80th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Groundbreaking, motivating, highly persuasive. The Power of Humanity is the most important and up-to-date account of one of the most influential spiritual and political figures of our time.
Goodness and compassion, positive energy, are not just empty words. This is what our world, full of wars, corruption and misery, needs. Everyone can contribute. For more than half a century the Dalai Lama has been guiding us on the path to compassion through his teachings, talks and books, teaching us how to improve and uplift our inner life. With the help of his longtime friend Daniel Goleman, author of the international bestseller Emotional Intelligence, who, like him, is convinced of the great power of good, The Dalai Lama explains, how to focus your energy of compassion on others and turn it outward from within yourself, into the world.
The 14th Tibetan Dalai Lama is far from being just a proponent and teacher of Buddhism. He is also a modern thinker and futurist who has great knowledge of current world problems, phenomena and events, as well as a deep understanding of social issues. The results of science and the testimonies of specific people prove that the Dalai Lama's views, vision for humanity, the art of harnessing positive energy and channeling it outwards are meaningful and bring lasting results.
