The Little Book of Joy

De: Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Random House

Narrado por: Francois Chau, Peter Francis James

Nobel Peace Prize winners His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu share their own childhood struggles to show young readers how they can thrive and find joy even during the most challenging times in this adaptation of the international bestseller The Book of Joy.

If you just focus on the thing that is making you sad, then the sadness is all you see. But if you look around, you will see that joy is everywhere.

In their only collaboration for children, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu use their childhood stories to show young people how to find joy even in hard times and why sharing joy with others makes it grow. The two spiritual masters tell a simple story of how every child has joy inside them, even when it sometimes hides, and how we can find it, keep it close, and grow it by sharing it with the world.

Sprung from the friendship, humor, and deep affection between these holy men, the book is a perfectly timed and important gift from two revered spiritual leaders to children. It is a reminder that joy is abundant—no matter what challenges we face—and has the power to transform the world around us even in the darkest of times.

No matter what your lot in life there can be joy. Written in a style for children this book carries a message needing to be heard by all ages, especially adults who may have forgotten the part their behavior affects their joy and the joy of those around them

A perfect book

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be exceedingly inspirational and I found such happiness and joy in the whole story. I really took the message to heart and found such great relation with the message. I further highly recommend this book.
