Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships – or, as they would say, because of them – they are two of the most joyful people on the planet.
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 joy in the face of life’s inevitable suffering?
They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our times and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy.
This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecedented week together, from the first embrace to the final goodbye.
And a happy Thursday to all you lonely hearts out there. On the bright side, pizza and a Netflix subscription costs a lot less than a fancy dinner for two.
If you are in a committed relationship, there's an outside chance you completely forget to buy your special someone a gift. Don't pretend otherwise, we're not here to judge.
We're here to help.
In case you haven't noticed, we're selling rather fancy jewelry today. It certainly won't be delivered before February 15th rolls around, but there's no stopping you from making your significant other aware of its impending arrival.
Nothing says romance like a screenshot of the OneDayOnly website and three or four heart emojis.
Some roses probably wouldn't go amiss either.
