In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu travelled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create this book as a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: how do we find happiness in the face of life's inevitable suffering? By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, they had stared into the despair of our times, and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy.
