MISSION: JOY
Finding Happiness in Troubled Times
Finding Happiness in Troubled Times
Deeply moving and laugh-out-loud funny, Mission: JOY — Finding Happiness in Troubled Times is a documentary with unprecedented access to the unlikely friendship of two international icons who transcend religion: His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In their final joint mission, these self-described “mischievous brothers” gave a master class in how to live with joy in the face of challenge. They offered neuroscience-backed wisdom to help each of us LIVE WITH MORE JOY, DESPITE CIRCUMSTANCES.
The film showcases a five-day exchange between these two Nobel Peace Prize winners, which led to the New York Times bestseller The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World. Consisting largely of never-before-seen footage shot at the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, India, the film invites us to join these luminaries behind the scenes as they recount stories from their lives, each having lived through periods of incredible difficulty and strife.
With genuine affection, mutual respect, and a healthy dose of teasing, these unlikely friends impart lessons gleaned from lived experience, ancient traditions, and cutting-edge science regarding how to live with joy in the face of life’s challenges, from the extraordinary to the mundane. Mission: JOY is an antidote for our times.
See you online!
