每個人都想要快樂，但痛苦與無常卻是生命的常數。給煩惱的心，找一帖藥方，無論身在何種境遇，都能從心綻放光彩！「如果事事都如意的話，你就可以假裝說生命是一帆風順的。當你面對真正令人絕望的處境時，就得面對現實在我自己的生命歷程中，最困難的時期正是我獲得最多知識和經驗的時期。逆境有另一個好處，就是困難的時刻可以幫助我們下定決心和增強毅力。」 ──達賴喇嘛世界心靈導師達賴喇嘛，以畢生歷經苦難修行所得的智慧結晶，指引人們追尋安樂的方法。達賴用直接、淺顯的語言，指出造成一般人內心困擾與人際關係裂痕的錯誤行為與態度。我們為何會產生這些錯誤，以及如何將之改正，並提出15個自我修練的方法，透過日常生活控制情緒，培養慈悲利他心以及調整錯誤的行為認知，將負面情緒逐步轉向正面力量，就能轉化心識成為快樂富足的人。關鍵思考如何看待你的憤怒？不需去壓抑、隱藏憤怒，而是要學會控制怒氣。當你憤怒時，會如何認知外在現象？察覺你的專注力是否過度誇張放在你所憎恨或喜愛的對象。如何省思憤怒造成的後果？憤怒會減低分辨對錯的能力，擴大問題。怎麼看待你所謂的敵人？真正製造麻煩的，不是這個人本身，而是這個人的煩惱。如何能培養自己的慈悲心？慈悲不是認同別人的行為，而是基於認識到世間的每一個人都跟你一樣，都同樣想離苦得樂，儘管有人對於如何達成這個目標有很愚蠢的想法。
