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.
