The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World by Douglas Carlton Abrams, Desmond Tutu, Dalai Lama XIV
informative

The friendship between these two men is incredible. Obviously the ideas explored are valuable and the practices at the end make it feel attainable. I do think, however, that there was a lot of repetition where deeper detail would be more useful. I enjoyed the story, I'm appreciative of their words, but I have to admit I wanted a bit more. I think this problem lies more with the editing. That being said, the "pillars" (as they refer to them) serve as fantastic goals to achieve better for yourself and others.
