   Black Authors (186) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  St-Johns-Episcopal | Mar 30, 2022 |  This book was a little hard to get into, but it picked up after 125 pages or so. The interaction between these two well-known and respected figures was interesting. Perhaps the concepts they discussed are obvious, but it was good to be reminded in a succinct way. (  ) BookBuddies | Feb 28, 2022 | Highly, highly recommend Great audiobook (  ) katielibrarian | Feb 8, 2022 | The book is based on a week of conversations between Nobel Peace Prize Winners and longtime friends Bishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness The Dalai Lama. Together, these two men share their views on Joy, obstacles to Joy, and the Eight Pillars of Joy. Their bond and affection for one another is evident throughout. They laugh, they joke, and they empathize with the struggles each share from their respective homelands of South Africa and Tibet. The audiobook version features the author as narrator, and two actors deftly portraying Bishop Tutu and the Dalai Lama. So, these chapters truly play out like one is eavesdropping on a series of conversations over tea. I particularly appreciate how they show such great respect for their diverse spiritual backgrounds (Anglican Christian and Buddhist). Their focus on what unites us, rather than divides us, is inspiring and much needed on our planet at this time. There is great humor, wisdom, and hope in this book. I highly recommend it.

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 eighties, 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.
