This was an enjoyable quick read.  The book is not long, and has a number of good quality photos.  In a way it is sort of a survey course book of the current Dalai Lama, and as well the history leading up to his life in the present moment.Nothing is gone into in incredible depth, but yet just enough to bring one up to speed on what the Dalai Lama is, how the current one came to be, and much of the wisdom of the Dalai Lama.Quotes and an interview transcript are included.  I especially liked his quote "if you can't help others, at least don't harm them."Although this book is not entirely on the present Dalai Lama, the history included was appropriate to put the entire concept as well as the current Dalai Lama in perspective, and aided understanding the man and philosophy.
