Two great spiritual masters share their own hard-won wisdom about living with joy even in the face of adversity. 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.

Siviglia, 1593. Giunto all'età di trentasei anni, don Juan Tenorio, il seduttore più famoso di tutti i tempi, decide di affidare a un diario la storia della sua rocambolesca esistenza. Prima orfano e chierico, poi ladro e spia, approda infine alla corte dell'influente e spregiudicato Marchese de la Mota, grazie al quale ottiene un titolo nobiliare e apprende tutti i segreti dell'arte della spada e della ben più piacevole arte della seduzione. Così, mentre la Corona è intenta a rimpinguare i propri forzieri con l'oro proveniente dal Nuovo Mondo e la Santissima Inquisizione a riconquistare anime a Dio con l'aiuto del fuoco e delle torture, il temerario Don Juan dedica le sue giornate a liberare le donne del Regno dalle prigioni della loro solitudine.

Fino all'impresa più ardua, e non ancora compiuta: conquistare il cuore dell'unica donna in grado di fargli dimenticare tutte le altre, la bella e coraggiosa Ana, promessa sposa del Marchese...
