We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy—from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk.

Zwei weise Männer, eine Botschaft Sie sind zwei der bedeutendsten Leitfiguren unserer Zeit: Seine Heiligkeit der Dalai Lama und Erzbischof Desmond Tutu. Obwohl ihr Leben von vielen Widrigkeiten und Gefahren geprägt war, strahlen sie eine Freude aus, die durch nichts zu erschüttern ist. Im Buch der Freude vereinen die „Brüder im Geiste“ ihre immense Lebenserfahrung und die Weisheit ihrer Weltreligionen zu einer gemeinsamen zentralen Erkenntnis: Nur tief empfundene Freude kann sowohl das Leben des Einzelnen als auch das globale Geschehen spürbar zum Positiven wandeln. Unabhängig von allen Herausforderungen und Krisen, mit denen wir täglich konfrontiert werden, können wir diese Energie in uns entfalten und weitergeben. So wird die Freude zur Triebkraft, die unserem Dasein mehr Liebe und Sinn verleiht – und zugleich Hoffnung und Frieden in unsere unsichere Welt bringt.

DOIS GIGANTES ESPIRITUAIS. CINCO DIAS. UMA PERGUNTA ATEMPORAL. Os prêmios Nobel da Paz Sua Santidade, o Dalai Lama, e o Arcebispo Desmond Tutu sobreviveram a mais de cinquenta anos de exílio e a uma opressão violenta que marcou para sempre sua alma. Apesar das dificuldades — ou, como eles diriam, por causa delas —, são duas das pessoas mais alegres do planeta. Em abril de 2015, o Arcebispo Tutu viajou para a residência do Dalai Lama em Dharamsala, na Índia, para celebrar o octogésimo aniversário de Sua Santidade e criar o que eles esperavam que fosse um presente ao próximo. Eles olharam para trás e para tudo que aprenderam em sua vida tão longa e intensa para responder a uma única pergunta: como podemos encontrar contentamento diante do sofrimento inevitável da vida? Eles trocaram histórias íntimas, provocaram-se até cair na gargalhada e compartilharam suas práticas espirituais. Ao fim de uma semana repleta de risos e pontuada de lágrimas, esses dois heróis globais tinham olhado para o abismo e o desespero dos nossos tempos e revelado como viver uma existência repleta de contentamento. Sua Santidade e o Arcebispo exploram a natureza do verdadeiro contentamento e explicam quais são os oito pilares de uma vida plena, que fornecem a base para a felicidade duradoura. Ao longo de sua conversa, eles incluem anedotas, grandes lições de sabedoria que partem das coisas mais simples e conceitos comprovados pela ciência, tudo isso em um tom leve e emocionante. No final da obra, eles compartilham suas práticas diárias de contentamento nas quais ancoram suas próprias vidas emocionais e espirituais. Neste encontro histórico, eles nos oferecem o reflexo de duas vidas repletas de dor e violência, com as quais, entretanto, têm sido capazes de descobrir dentro de si mesmos a paz, a coragem e a alegria que todos podemos aspirar.
«La nostra bontà aumenta quando viene messa alla prova.» Desmond Tutu «La sorgente definitiva della felicità è già dentro ciascuno di noi.» Dalai Lama «La sorgente definitiva della felicità è già dentro ciascuno di noi.» Dalai Lama «La nostra bontà aumenta quando viene messa alla prova.» Desmod Tutu DUE GIGANTI DELLA SPIRITUALITÀ. CINQUE GIORNI. UNA DOMANDA SENZA TEMPO. Il Dalai Lama e l’arcivescovo sudafricano Desmond Tutu, entrambi vincitori del premio Nobel per la Pace, sono sopravvissuti a oltre cinquant’anni di esilio, oppressione e violenza. Ma nonostante queste difficoltà, o forse proprio grazie a esse, sono senza alcun dubbio due delle persone più gioiose del pianeta. Questo libro, nato da un incontro nell’aprile 2015 a Dharamsala, in India, è un’occasione unica per ascoltare dalla loro viva voce esperienze, insegnamenti e profonde riflessioni: confrontandosi infatti sia con le grandi tradizioni filosofiche e religiose di ogni tempo sia con le più recenti scoperte delle neuroscienze e della psicologia, i due prestigiosi interlocutori affrontano tutti gli ostacoli che possono frapporsi tra noi e il raggiungimento della piena felicità. E ci insegnano così che è solo dopo aver conosciuto e imparato a controllare il dolore, come dimostrano le battaglie combattute da entrambi per la libertà dei loro popoli, che diventa possibile trasformare la gioia da fugace emozione di un momento a costante della nostra vita: perché non c’è luce senza ombra, e non c’è gioia per sé se non si crea gioia anche per gli altri. Ricco di dottrina e ispirazione, e nutrito da una straordinaria somma di esperienza, Il libro della gioia è destinato a diventare uno strumento essenziale per orientare le vite di noi tutti in un’epoca sempre più confusa e inquieta.
