The Wisdom of Compassion.

The author's credit says His Holiness the Dalai Lama. But it's really written by some other dude who watched the Dalai Lama do stuff and then wrote about it.

It's a series of vignettes, really ... sometimes there will be three chapters on one public appearance, and then you get a five minute snippet out of another, that was probably far more interesting than the three chapters, but of course, since the three chapters were on a visit to a children's cancer ward, well, you don't focus on the brevity of the one chapter than potentially had a lot more to say about mindfulness and compassion. I mean, why talk about it when you can show it, right?
