The Secret to Joy, According to the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu

How do we find joy in a world filled with suffering?

As the two men reflect on their personal experiences, they impart advice for finding inner joy. The secret? Not thinking too much about yourself.

Over the week in Dharamsala, India, they go deep on feelings and philosophy, to the point that Abrams suggests speeding things up.
