The 16 Guidelines are a set of practical and straightforward tools for developing happiness and meaning in everyday life. Inspired by a seventh century text from the Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo, they are being used by people of all ages and cultures worldwide to transform problems and create the causes of peace and wellbeing. Available in Spanish.

16 Guidelines: The Basics, is the essential user manual for the 16 Guidelines. Its an attractive, illustrated workbook with quotes, stories, challenges and guided reflections for each guideline, together with an overview of each of the four wisdom themes: how we think (the power of the mind); how we act (cause and effect); how we relate to others (interdependence) and how we find meaning (impermanence). Each of the Guidelines is associated with a role model whose life story exemplifies that quality. The book is spiral-bound, so it lies open for easy hands-free use.

Other suitable info: A set of 16 Guidelines cards makes an excellent complement to The Basics. The cards are a practical tool with many applications, from reframing difficult situations to setting your motivation at the beginning of the day, and many more.

The 16 Guidelines are the first initiative of Essential Education, an international NGO which aims is to make the world a better place by helping people to develop their natural compassion and wisdom.
