A Wonderful Guide To Manifesting Joy

This book a a treasure trove of how to live joyfully! The book is a transcript with narrative from a meeting between the Archbishop and Dalai Lama to discuss joy. They each tell amusing stories and give deeply insightful thoughts on what joy is, things that block joy, and how they have learned to live joyfully. It's a rich, heartwarming book that is so worth reading, or even better, listening to! (I highly recommend getting the audio version)

Wish I had Read this 40 years ago

Powerful, informative. One of the Bible's of our time about how to live well. Took forever to read ad had to think but worth every minute.
