THE BOOK OF JOY - DALAI LAMA XIV DESMOND TUTU D...

An instant New York Times bestseller Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question.
Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have
survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite
their hardships-or  as they would say  because of them-they are two of the most joyful people
on the planet. In April 2015  Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala 
India  to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a
gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How
do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories  teased
each other continually  and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with
laughter and punctuated with tears  these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and
despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a
rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together  from the
first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy
and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy-from fear  stress  and anger to grief  illness  and
death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy  which provide the foundation for lasting
happiness. Throughout  they include stories  wisdom  and science. Finally  they share their
daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has
never claimed sainthood  and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique
collaboration  they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the
midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace  of courage  and of joy to
which we can all aspire in our own lives.
