Review "The Dalai Lama's response reinforced in me the realization that even when people have similar objectives they can interpret words from significantly different perspectives. In response to His comments, my first book released by a traditional publishing house, teNeues, covers the same topic and is called, Inner Harmony: Living in Balance." --Authority Magazine
