Connecting spiritually with happiness and business, Firstly we are going to look at Dalai lama and his journey on happiness “right method to bring happy life, individuals, family, nation and world”. We look at his holiness idea of happiness and how it correlates with Aristotle’s definition of happiness. Then we move on to modern capitalism and how it is benefiting the economy; if it is making people happy. And answering the question if Dali Lama ideas of happy life fit with modern capitalism. Secondly, we are going to talk about the three types of decision making Dan Lowe lives by and ellaborate on that specifics.

He goes on by saying the purpose is to seek a happy life, happy family, happy community and ultimately a happy world which leads to an individual happiness. Happiness lies on our emotions and the emotion we show to others, the act of kindness, compassion and empathy can go a long way to make us understand life and happiness. Dali lama idea of happiness relates most with Aristotle. As according to Aristotle, Happiness is a state of well being (Eudaimonia).To lead a virtuous, morally acceptable life whereas living an ethical life, of morals, virtues and right actions, is far more important in terms of achieving happiness in your life.

This is one of the viewpoints of Daniel Lowe that is very similar to kant since the whole Deontology theory Kant emphasizes on the absolute value and dignity of individuals and stresses the importance of acting on the basis of right intentions.The perspective that seems to be disjointed between Kant and Dan Lowe is the vision about “The rule of the law”, because Dan says that Businesses and decision makers who spend thousand and thousands of dollar buying shares need to feel comfortable that there is a rule of the law and perfect governments. But sometimes you see situation where creditors, “A bunch of vultures”, they do not deserve to get their money back, so changing the rule for those people is not the solution and breaks rule of the law. If you have people that feel confident in the system and if the rule is changed based on emotion of one person or for that one person because of whatever reason it might be, the entire system falls apart. The entire system
