A legendary conservationist. A lifetime spent fighting for nature. An indispensable message of hope. The world-renowned naturalist and conservationist Jane Goodall has spent more than half a century advocating on behalf of our planet. From her famous encounters with chimpanzees in the forests of Gombe as a young woman to her tireless campaigning for the environment in her late eighties, Jane has become the godmother to a new generation committed to a better, more hopeful world. In The Book of Hope, Jane draws on the wisdom of a lifetime dedicated to nature to teach us how to find strength in trying times, and explains why she still has hope for the natural world and for humanity. In extraordinary conversations with her co-author, Douglas Abrams, that weave together stories from her travels and activism, she offers readers a new understanding of the crisis we face and a compelling path forward for us all to create hope in our own lives and in the world. The world needs a manifesto of hope now more than ever. This profound book from one of the world's most beloved figures shows that even in the face of great adversity, we can find hope in human nature, and in nature itself

Zwei weise Männer, eine Botschaft Sie sind zwei der bedeutendsten Leitfiguren unserer Zeit: Seine Heiligkeit der Dalai Lama und Erzbischof Desmond Tutu. Obwohl ihr Leben von vielen Widrigkeiten und Gefahren geprägt war, strahlen sie eine Freude aus, die durch nichts zu erschüttern ist. Im Buch der Freude vereinen die „Brüder im Geiste“ ihre immense Lebenserfahrung und die Weisheit ihrer Weltreligionen zu einer gemeinsamen zentralen Erkenntnis: Nur tief empfundene Freude kann sowohl das Leben des Einzelnen als auch das globale Geschehen spürbar zum Positiven wandeln. Unabhängig von allen Herausforderungen und Krisen, mit denen wir täglich konfrontiert werden, können wir diese Energie in uns entfalten und weitergeben. So wird die Freude zur Triebkraft, die unserem Dasein mehr Liebe und Sinn verleiht – und zugleich Hoffnung und Frieden in unsere unsichere Welt bringt.

<b>Two great spiritual masters share their own hard-won wisdom about living with joy even in the face of adversity.</b> <b> </b> The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet. From the beginning the book was envisioned as a three-layer birthday cake: their own stories and teachings about joy, the most recent findings in the science of deep happiness, and the daily practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. Both the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu have been tested by great personal and national adversity, and here they share their personal stories of struggle and renewal. Now that they are both in their eighties, they especially want to spread the core message that to have joy yourself, you must bring joy to others. Most of all, during that landmark week in Dharamsala, they demonstrated by their own exuberance, compassion, and humor how joy can be transformed from a fleeting emotion into an enduring way of life.

Sevilla 1593: Als Don Juan die Verhaftung durch die Heilige Inquisition droht, ist er entschlossen, Spanien zu verlassen. Genau in diesem Moment begegnet er einer Frau, die nicht nur seine Leidenschaft entfacht, sondern auch wie keine je zuvor sein Herz berührt. Als der berüchtigte Frauenverführer Don Juan Tenorio seine jüngste Geliebte verlässt, um sich beim König von Spanien einzufinden, ahnt er nicht, dass diese Audienz sein Leben für immer verändern wird. Angestachelt durch den fanatischen Großinquisitor, verlangt Philipp II. von Don Juan, sich innerhalb eines Monats zu verheiraten. Aber der Freigeist ist entschlossen, sich dem Ultimatum nicht zu beugen. Er beginnt damit, sein Leben aufzuzeichnen, von seiner behüteten und liebevollen Kindheit bei den Nonnen, die ihn heimlich aufziehen, über seine Jahre als Dieb und Spion bis hin zu dem Augenblick, als er seine wahre Berufung als Liebhaber aller Frauen entdeckt. Gleichzeitig plant Don Juan seine Flucht in die Neue Welt, doch da begegnet er der schönen, unerschrockenen Doña Ana – Tochter seines Erzfeindes und Verlobte seines Gönners – und verliebt sich zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben rückhaltlos. Verzweifelt stürzt sich Don Juan in einen schier aussichtslosen Kampf um ein Glück, dessen Geheimnis ihm so lange verborgen war.
