Drawing from such sages as the Dali Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, author Douglas Abrams’ newest work, The Book of Joy has become an immediate New York Times Bestseller book. Abrams, former editor at Harper Collins, has never let his dyslexia stop him from achieving success. Having already co-authored two books with Archbishop Tutu, Abrams can appreciate the various struggles the two endured as children.
“A dyslexic man became a successful writer”
It was at a birthday party for the Archbishop’s wife which actually set in motion the first steps of this extraordinary collaboration. When Abrams asked the Archbishop if he was interested in a book collaboration with the Dalai Lama, Tutu’s immediate and enthusiastic response made the whole deal a foregone conclusion. The bond between the two religious holy men, and a shared appreciation for the joy they’ve found in their lives, is articulated by a dyslexic author to resounding accolades.
