The Book of Joy recounts the story of a week of laughter, dialogue and deep sharing between two soul friends, the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu, at the Dalai Lama's residence in 
Dharamsala, India. Their wide-ranging conversation explores the meaning of true joy, which requires a profound shift in perspective, in the habitual ways in which one interacts with the world and regards the circumstances of one's life. The joy of these two old friends, which is both instructive and infectious, is the centerpiece of this intimate and delightful book. In the final chapter, the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu share some universal "joy practices" arising from their own Tibetan Buddhist and Christian traditions but relevant and accessible to all.
