Mehso-so

Howard C. Cutler and the Dalai Lama explore the connections between psychology and Buddhism as they seek out ways to help people cope with troubled times. There‘s some good info here, but the presentation could have been much tighter. Cutler often plays too much the fool in the pair‘s discussions, too—a teaching strategy I‘ve never liked—and many of the examples already feel dated, with some uncomfortably biased ones in the mix.

I made the Mauritian shrimp curry from FOREVER SUMMER by Nigella Lawson while I listened to the tagged book. The curry‘s okay, but not nearly as good as I‘d hoped. I won‘t make it again.

Likewise, THE ART OF HAPPINESS IN A TROUBLED WORLD is full of good info, but the spark isn‘t quite there. I think it wanted to be something short and sharp, not this longer examination of how Buddhist principles and psychology intersect. #audiocooking
