Happiness is often treated as something that arrives when life finally becomes perfect.
We imagine that more money, fewer problems, greater success, or better circumstances will automatically make us happier.
The Book of Joy, written by Douglas Abrams and based on conversations between the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, offers a very different perspective.
The book explores how joy can exist alongside suffering, uncertainty, and disappointment.
Instead of waiting for life to become easier, the authors encourage readers to develop qualities such as compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, acceptance, and generosity.
