The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World by Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Douglas Carlton Abrams

Over 12,700 5-Star Reviews!

Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question: How do we find joy in the face of suffering?

Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu endured decades of exile and the brutal weight of oppression. Despite it—or, as they would say, because of it—they became two of the most joyful people on earth.

In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to Dharamsala, India, to celebrate the Dalai Lama’s eightieth birthday and to create a gift for the world. Over the course of a remarkable week, they reflected on their long lives, traded intimate stories, teased one another relentlessly, and shared the spiritual practices that sustained them through loss and injustice.

What emerged is a profound exploration of joy amid grief, fear, and uncertainty—a rare, intimate account of two global moral leaders who faced the darkness of their time and chose, again and again, a life brimming with joy.
