How to See Yourself as You Really Are/H.H.Dalai Lama (2008-04-25)
This was a wonderfully insightful book that challenges you to take a hard look at the “true you”. It makes you think on the choices you have made in life, and where you want to go from where you are now. I found this book very enlightening and found great peace in it’s reading. I learned many things about myself that I feel have made me want to be a better person, and I believe it has helped put me on that path. I recommend this title to anyone looking for self awareness.Delai Lama’s writings (2008-04-18)
The contribution of Delai Lama’s writing’s in this century may give the world a significant change as it struggles in material pleasures of life. May his message of love and peace win over human suffering and bring about a positive change in people.

As a beginner in Buddhism, this was the first Buddhist book that I read. Before reading this, I had heard of many ways of Buddhist thought through small online writings, but His Holiness’ ‘How to See Yourself As You Really Are’ truly helped me to gain a more meaningful understanding of impermanence, dependent arising, and compassion.
I suggest anyone new to Buddhism and still confused read this book.
Also, I’m currently reading His Holiness’ ‘The Way to Freedom’ and I feel as if It’s the perfect thing to read along with ‘How to See Yourself As You Really Are’.How to see yourself as your really are (2007-12-25)
This book asks you to look at the world and yourself in a new way.The path to enlightenment (2007-04-08)
I believe the Dalai Lama is the closest thing we have to a Buddha on earth. His writing is full of grace and enlightenment. In this book he takes on the difficult task of explaining the true condition of a human being-impermanent conditional consciousness. This topic is very difficult to explain by putting it into words. The Dalai Lama does a great job and then follows up with many exercises. Here is how I would summarize this books teachings:
We are not our body, nor even our mind. if we were we could not say my mind or my body. Then what are we? We are “like” and illusion existing through our 5 aggregates, body, thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and consciousness. No “I” can be located. The closest we can come is understanding that we are consciousness observing the present moment, all else is thought and mental formation. Who we think we really are is just a mental formation we hold in our mind of our beliefs about ourselves our religion, height, weight, name, etc. Enlightenment is simply understanding this and the nature of reality.
I hope I did some justice to this books topic, but I highly recommend reading this book to move farther down the road to enlightenment.
