After a very humble introduction, the writer tells us that, to live a happy life, we must first learn to train our mind, hence the title, 'Taming the Tiger'; meaning our mind. Everything is impermanent, we have to let things come and go and appreciate them for what they are. We are too fast in blaming others for our negative thoughts; we should look within ourselves instead. Having the right motivation and learn to become compassionate is essential. Further on, the author writes how we must face a situation and not wallow in self-pity. Much of the suffering we encounter in our lives is caused by our lack of mindfulness.
The second half of the book is dedicated to some exercises properly structured, with a timetable to follow. There are seventeen meditations which focus on simple visualisation or relaxation to meditations on how to become compassionate and awakening our potential. Each meditation is followed by some questions, which were asked by his students during his lectures. If you are not familiar with Buddhism this book is you a good start and it will give you some good grounding.
