The Happiness Project: The Three Poisons That Cause the Suffering We Inflict on Ourselves and Others

Rating:
Summary: A clear view of Buddism.
Review: Clearly written, easy to understand and put into practice. After reading over100 books on eastern ideas,this book struck a cord in me(a light went on).

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: Dr. Leifer, a psychiatrist, borrows from his Buddhist practice and his
clinical experience to offer profound insights into the sources of
anxiety and depression in the West. He makes a compelling case that
the projects we develop to make us happy become the sources of our
unhappiness. Meditation can help reduce the three "poisons"
that make us miserable--desire, aversion, and ignorance.
