The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World by Dalai Lama XIVMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I didn’t uncover any new mystery to joy in this book; rather, it reminded me of things I already knew but are inclined to forget, like forgetting yourself and focusing on others. From gratitude to humility they really do sum up the principles of joy. Abrams does a good job, too, of including the Dalai Lama’s and Tutu’s life stories. These are good reminders of truths told in a way that people from various belief systems would be open to. (One caveat...no mention of those suffering from clinical depression).
