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. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our times and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecedented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen in as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles to 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 the daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives." - from the inner front jacket flap.

(2) Air Ministry Correspondence presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty May 1919: original self wraps, 20pp foolscap. Near fine, lightly tanned, with neat institutional ink stamps to the front, staples rusted. Violet Douglas-Pennant (1869-1945) spent 14 troubled weeks as Commandant of the short-lived WRAF until her dismissal in August 1918. Uncertain about whether to accept the role to begin with, her tenure had included unsuccessful attempts to resign. The Air Ministry document included here lays out 39 pieces of correspondence dating from 1.7.18 to 24.5.19 leading up to and around the dismissal, involving Douglas-Pennant herself, her Assistant Commandant, the Secretary of State for the RAF, the Air Council, the Prime Minister, among others. Douglas-Pennant claimed that she had been forced out by senior officers in an attempt to cover up "rife immorality" within the WRAF. The House of Lords formed a Select Committee in October 1918 to look into these claims, and in Dec 1919 reported that no evidence could be found to support them. The controversy continued to roll with Douglas-Pennant attempting to clear her name through her book "Under the Search Light, a Record of a Great Scandal" (c1922). Campaigning on her behalf was the Publication Committee of the Douglas-Pennant Case, chaired by singer, suffragist, and co-founder of the Society of Women Musicians, Gertrude Eaton (1861-1939). Some of the other Committee members listed here are authors Flora Annie Steel (Complete Indian House Keeper and Cook, etc) and Euphemia Margaret Tait (pen name John Ironside), mezzo soprano Dr Mary Davies, journalist and suffragist Nina Boyle, University College of North Wales Principal Sir Harry Reichel, and Secretary of the North Wales Quarreymen's Union RT Jones. This publication was presented to Douglas-Pennant at "a crowded and enthusiastic meeting at Lord Askwith's house as a proof of the unabated confidence felt in her by members of all classes who had worked with her, and as a mark of appreciation of the public services she had so unobtrusively rendered before and during the war" (p3). It challenges the findings of the Select Committee with counter-evidence, and records Douglas-Pennant's public work (1899-1918) and war work (1914 -18). Extremely rare, with Library Hub locating only 1 (LSE), and Worldcat locating 2 of later editions (University of Waterloo, 9th ed, 1926?; Utrecht University c1929).
