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 hardshipsor, as they would say, because of themthey 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 Joyfrom fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death.

Incredible and inspiring book

My church book club is reading this wonderful book. It is so insightful and inspiring. It also humanizes these two spiritual leaders - it is a reminder of our shared humanity. This is a must read for all who seek to find the good in others and to search for joy in their lives.

Inspirational and Humbling

Have recommended this to many people - these two amazing men who have endured SO much in their lifetimes......are almost childlike in their view of the world and the goodness to be found in living and in each other.
