the book of Joy
Desmond tutu & Dalai Lama trade paperback
Two of the world’s most influential spiritual leaders, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have come together to share their thoughts on achieving enduring happiness.
Whether we are frustrated with the morning traffic, fearful that we cannot provide for our families, or grieving for the loss of a loved one, is it really possible to be joyful in the face of our daily troubles? And even if our lives are well and good, how can we live in joy when so many others are suffering?
With jokes, discussions, fondness and friendship, the ‘mischievous spiritual brothers’ from different cultures and religions tackle the answers to these questions, and share their personal stories of struggle and renewal.

Drop-out military cop Jack Reacher has finally hitch-hiked his way to Virginia. His destination, the closest thing to a home he ever had: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th Military Police.
Reacher has no real reason to be here, except that he spoke to the new commanding officer on the phone. He liked Major Susan Turner’s voice. But now he’s arrived, she’s disappeared, and things are getting weird.
Accused of a sixteen-year-old homicide and co-opted back into the army, Reacher says nothing.
But he’s sure as hell thinking of a way out.
