The Book of Joy is an uplifting, hope-filled conversation between the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, two friends whose lives have been shaped by hardship, yet overflow with laughter and love. In their weeklong dialogue, they share how joy is not something we chase, but something we cultivate through compassion, gratitude, humility, and a wider perspective on our lives. With stories that are tender, funny, and deeply human, the book invites readers to discover a joy that endures even in difficult times, and to carry that joy into the world.​
