I think we can all agree, there's nothing better than giving a gift that puts an instant smile on someone's face.
Happiness and joy can be obtained from seeing other people happy. And if we boil it all down ... our happy moments actually depend on others. Our souls are in fact intertwined. We all need each other. Not only do we need each other to lift us up emotionally and have others to share our experiences and stories with, but the act of helping others without a doubt can create the happiness we all need to change the world.

Insight
This book is more than just a self-help book. As best outlined by the book's description, "Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships - or, as they would say, because of them - they are two of the most joyful people on the planet."
Further noting, "We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy - from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives."
It's the combination of their life experiences and sharing their stories together that makes this book such a unique and rare delight to read. The book is a great reminder to stay humble, be grateful, forgive, help others, and to remember that happiness and joy are found within.
As best said by the Dalai Lama, "In fact, taking care of others, helping others, ultimately is the way to discover your own joy and have a happy life." We couldn't agree more.
