Description

The TV series The Book of Joy, created by an unlisted creator and produced by an unlisted studio, first premiered on September 20, 2016 in an unspecified country. The series spans 0 seasons with 0 episodes, featuring the voices of an unlisted voice cast. It follows the story of Publisher's Summary Two great spiritual masters share their own hard-won wisdom about living with joy even in the face of adversity.  The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet.  From the beginning the book was envisioned as a three-layer birthday cake: their own stories and teachings about joy, the most recent findings in the science of deep happiness, and the daily practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. Both the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu have been tested by great personal and national adversity, and here they share their personal stories of struggle and renewal. Now that they are both in their 80s, they especially want to spread the core message that to have joy yourself, you must bring joy to others.  Most of all, during that landmark week in Dharamsala, they demonstrated by their own exuberance, compassion, and humor how joy can be transformed from a fleeting emotion into an enduring way of life.  Narration credits:  Douglas Carlton Abrams, read by the author  Dalai Lama, read by Francois Chau  Desmond Tutu, read by Peter Francis James  ©2016 Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu (P)2016 Penguin Audio. This is a Relationships & Parenting & Personal Development series and has received a rating of 9.6/10 from 11,935 viewers.

I read this book during the Covid19 quarantine and foundit peaceful during a time of chaos and stupidity. Reminding me to count my Blessings was a big calming factor. The book talked about separation.Although separation was a challenge,it reminded me that life changes. Peace comes after turmoil.

Good book but too much narration detail. Focus on content. I do not want to hear every step of meeting such as lunch, doctor visits, and car rides.

I have been an avid reader of spiritual books I wanted see the point of view of Dalai Lama since he is the poster child for spirituality I did enjoy knowing his view however nothing new was picked up from the book

Excellent book and a must read for anyone who is interested in exploring happiness, quality of life or the power of the mind. The audio version made it even more interesting.
