Mission: JOY Finding Happiness in Troubled Times

I loved this film! It was such an eye opener to life and our purpose on earth. I love the relationship between these two very blessed souls.

These two may go down in history as some of the wisest of sages, but it's also clear that they're a couple of goofballs. Found that surprising, how free they felt with each other to act like a couple of kids and then quickly pivot into profound explorations on joy and pain. Appreciated the exploration of the science of joy as well.

This movie is based on a book. If you’ve read the book, you know the premise of the movie. If you haven’t read the book, this is about two religious leaders, but is not about religion. It’s about how joy is generated for people through the lens of each of their religions, compared and contrasted (briefly) with science. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and my wife (who is not religious at all) after her interest was piqued by Desmond Tutu. She enjoyed it as well, and said that she appreciated that it wasn’t forcing one view or another, it was simply using their experiences and backgrounds apply to suffering and happiness. Highly recommended
