For the first time I learned about the Tibetan Buddhist view of emotion, a very different perspective from that which we hold in the West. I was amazed to find that the ideas I had been writing about in chapters 2 and 3 were compatible with the Buddhist view, in part, and the Buddhist view suggested extensions and refinements of my ideas that led me extensively. Most of all, I learned from His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, on many different levels, from the experiential to the intellectual, and I believe the book has benefited from my learning.
