Saving the environment is our collective duty. With each passing day, climate change is causing Pacific islands to disappear into the sea, accelerating the extinction of species at alarming proportions and aggravating a water shortage that has affected the entire European continent. In short, climate change can no longer be denied - it threatens our existence on earth.In this inspiring new book, the Dalai Lama, one of the most influential figures of our time, calls on political decision-makers to finally fight against deadlock and ignorance on this issue. He argues that we all need to stand up for a different and more climate-friendly world, and to allow the younger generation to assert their right to regain their future.From the voice of the beloved world religious leader comes this eye-opening manifesto that empowers the generation of today to step up, take action and protect our world.

***Genomineerd voor de Hebban Awards 2017 in de categorie Beste Non-fictie.*** De Dalai Lama en Desmond Tutu hebben beiden veel tegenslagen moeten overwinnen. Ondanks hun ontberingen - of zoals ze zelf zeggen dankzij hun ontberingen - behoren ze tot de vrolijkste mensen ter wereld. Ter gelegenheid van de 80e verjaardag van de Dalai Lama reisde Desmond Tutu naar Dharamsala om samen HET BOEK VAN VREUGDE te maken als cadeau voor iedereen. Tijdens deze bijzondere week toonden ze met hun eigen uitbundigheid, compassie en humor hoe vreugde kan groeien van een voorbijgaande emotie tot een blijvende, solide levenshouding. Douglas Abrams was bij de gesprekken aanwezig en verwerkte ze tot dit boek. Een boek waar je blij van wordt, alleen al vanwege de liefdevolle manier waarop deze oude wijze mannen met elkaar omgaan, de levensvreugde en speelsheid die ze delen en de respectvolle manier waarop ze hun verschil van inzicht bespreken, want de boeddhistische en de christelijke traditie hebben naast veel overeenkomsten ook duidelijke verschillen. Het is mooi om te lezen hoe onbelangrijk die verschillen worden, want hun kernboodschap is dezelfde: vreugdevol leven bereik je door anderen vreugde te brengen.

This inspirational new book brings together the Dalai Lama's teachings on love, peace and compassion, applying the principles of ancient Buddhist thought to contemporary issues.
