This is a book specifically written for modern-day youth by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. He also gives many important messages to the future youth in this book. We can read a few of his wonderful ideas regarding life, feminism, and people's approach toward women. His simple manifesto's on religion, and vegan life will be motivating for many of us to read. Dalai Lama has never disappointed me in any of the books written by him. This book is also short, crisp, and to the point, which will help you in one way or the other.

This book is written by Sofia Still - ReverIs a collection of private conversations of Dalai Lama with the author. This short read of 84 pages is full of life changing words and guidance, It's a compilation of Dalai Lama's views and peice of advice for the youth of the world. How we are important ? What are responsibility ?? And how we can change the world? How a little change within oneself can make a big difference in the society as a whole. .This eloquent, impassioned manifesto is possibly the most important message that Dalai Lama wants to share with the future of the world.It's his rallying cry, full of solutions to our chaotic , aggressive, divided times ; No less than a call for relocation..Are we ready to hear it ?? Are we ready to Act ?? .What I felt about this book ?? .The best thing about thing book is it's very short read of just 84 pages and quite simply written so that anyone who isn't habitual of reading books can easily grab this one. .This books talks about various modern days societal, political , environmental and nation wide crises..whose solutions are so simply imbibed within us. Just the thing is we never pay attention or give a moment of self introspection to ourselves. How a simple token of gratitude, a little morally correct attitude can transform many things and what we can do as a youth of a nation all these things are quite smoothly depicted in this book. This book have enlighted my superly negative soul to some positivity and hope for a better world.🌸.

This attention-grabbing book is a wonderful call to young people in shaping our future world. HH The Dalai Lama truly believes in the new generation to make a difference - a large and positive difference - in our world. With others busy talking about Millennials taking too many selfies and eating too many avocados, HH The Dalai Lama sees the potential and appreciates the ways the new and young generation looks at and lives life differently. Underlining his calls for compassion with facts, HH The Dalai Lama highlights that we have the power to move from the most brutal century in human history to a future full of compassion and love for one another and our world. A very inspiring and to-the-point book I would highly recommend everyone read. For the younger, as well as, the older generation to see the potential of the new world that is being shaped.

"Inner peace, love, and compassion are not only ways of expressing a noble ideal, but also of offering pragmatic solutions to issues we face in this new reality, as a means of guaranteeing our collective interests in the face of the loosening of social bonds, and the breakdown of social solidarity."This was a quick read containing an inspiring call to action from the ever poignant Dalai Lama

“Self-centeredness closes doors, while altruism opens them.”I try to read a book by the Dalai Lama every year. Admittedly, as this one is so short, there isn’t much substance compared to others, but I think it’s a good reminder about treating one another with compassion while also advocating for change. It reads very much like a farewell speech, but essentially the Dalai Lama is reaching out to millennials, imploring them to “be the solution finding generation.”In 2019 America, it’s refreshing to see a well-known leader admit that we have some serious issues to grapple with on a global level, and that we need to work together in order to achieve meaningful change. Compassion and diplomacy are necessary to make this happen.It’s surprising to read that the Dalai Lama uses the French and Bolshevik Revolutions as examples in this book since both are punctuated by terrible violence and the death of many innocent people, but he also admits that he has not studied these events. I had a difficult time reconciling his message of non-violence with these examples, but I think that on a surface level, his intent is to focus on the notion of “liberty, equality, fraternity” for all, and that we should mobilize to work toward the common good for all humankind, just as others in history have set a precedent of taking action against oppression.See more of my reviews: Blog // Instagram

He has a gentle and passionate call towards compassion for each other, the earth, and the future we are creating. There are some practical steps to take at the end, but this is mo

Dalai Lama puts forward his idea of revolution in terms of peace and compassion. The writing tries to give logical and practical rationale for being more compassionate and kind. The greatest strength of the book is that it is amongst those books which only talk about lofty ideals and don't elaborate on the essence of ideals in real life.
