"The Book of Joy" (2016) is a heartwarming guide penned by two great spiritual masters, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who are not only Nobel Prize laureates but also revered as moral leaders of our time. Inspired by a significant birthday celebration, these two close friends convened in Dharamsala to discuss something profoundly meaningful to them - the essence of joy.
This book is packed with wisdom they've accrued from their own experiences, showing us how to live a life brimming with joy, even in the face of adversity.
