Download The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World AudioBook Free
Two great religious masters show their own hard-won knowledge about coping with joy even when confronted with adversity. The occasion was a major birthday. And it inspired two good friends to gather in Dharamsala for a discuss something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The topic was pleasure. Both winners of the Nobel Award, both great religious experts and moral market leaders of the time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet. From the beginning the publication was envisioned as a three-layer birthday cake: their own experiences and teachings about pleasure, the newest studies in the knowledge of deep enjoyment, and the daily methods that anchor their own emotional and religious lives. Both Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu have been tested by great personal and nationwide adversity, and here they show their personal experiences of struggle and renewal. Given that they are both in their 80s, they especially want to propagate the core subject matter that to possess pleasure yourself, you must bring happiness to others. Most of all, during that landmark week in Dharamsala, they shown by their own exuberance, compassion, and laughter how pleasure can be transformed from a fleeting feeling into an enduring way of life.
