Two great spiritual leaders
answer one timeless question about joy amidst adversity.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama and
Archbishop Desmond Tutu have experienced more than fifty years of adversity but
despite their hardships, they are considered two of the most joyful people in
the world.

Dalai Lama’s birthday in April
2015 inspired Archbishop Tutu to visit him in Dharamsala to celebrate and talk
about something inherently important to them. The subject is joy. The two
spiritual masters look back on the lives and answer the enduring question about
finding joy amidst inevitable suffering in life.

The five-day visit provided an
in-depth conversation about the joy like a three-tiered cake with the obstacles
of joy from fear, stress, anger, sadness, loneliness, envy, suffering, to
death, the eight pillars of joy from perspective, humility, humor, acceptance,
forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, to generosity, and joy in practice.

They shared jokes, intimate
stories, and spiritual practices which had ended in laughter as the two reveal
the secret to living a joyful life despite the negativity and despair of our
time. The book opens up their week spent together from the first greeting in a
warm embrace to the final goodbye.

The two spiritual masters never
considered themselves as above anyone else and this wonderful collaboration
offers us a peek into the real lives finding peace, courage, and joy in the
midst of turmoil and adversity that we can embrace into our own lives.
