Avis sur le produitThe Book of Joy : Lasting Happiness in a Changing World by Desmond Tutu, Dalai Lama and Douglas Carlton Abrams (2016, Hardcover)

Actions Speak Louder Than Words!

This uplifting book features in exquisite detail a week-long conversation between South African Archbishop Tutu and the Dalai Lama on the role of spiritual joy in one's life. Their visit, which took place in Dharmasala India, describes the two elderly spiritual leaders, one from the west and the other from the east, in intimate friendship. Filled with laughter, and delight in the smallest beauty, the two elders show us how love overcomes the greatest tragedy. The author's description of the two men together speaks more to joy than words they utter. An unexpected kiss on the cheek, the nuance of a well timed wave of a hand, the length of thewhite silk kata on the short archbishop, jokes and laughter convey more than the topics they discuss: love, joy, suffering, their travels and much much more. highly recommend.Lire l'avis complet...

We need more books like this

This book is everything. It is a guide, a comfort blanket, a mirror, a compass, and a compelling read. I’ve read more than once and given it countless times as a gift. And it is a true gift.

Another reviewer stated something to the effect of that if they were stressed that reading just a small bit of this book brought them back to a place of peace. I wholeheartedly agree with that assessment. It’s grounded me in ways I never thought possible. It will help you be a better person even with just one paragraph.

There are so many quotes of wisdom in this book that it is unbelievable. I caught myself often just pausing for long whiles contemplating the depth of what I just read.

It’s not a difficult read, and is actually one that is easy to read in small pieces.

Not only do I recommend this book for everyone, but I feel everyone desperately needs this book. Lire l'avis complet...

Great Book!

I read it & now I am reading it again. This book is inspiring that two men from different backgrounds & different faiths have found common ground to celebrate a deep & loving friendship. It is wonderful that they have chosen to share their "way to find Joy" with the world in the hopes that it will help to make a better world for us all.Lire l'avis complet...

Joy and how to get there

This book has gentle humor and uncovers various reasons for unhappiness. We've been discussing it on our book study for several weeks. We read to each other weekly.

The Book of Joy is a treasure. I (Joy) am enjoying it.

Just started it but so far it is a "joyful" book. Very calming in these troubled times.
