      Aus einer Schnapsidee heraus bemühte sich Petra Hartlieb im Urlaub gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann um eine gerade geschlossene Traditions-buchhandlung in Wien – und bekam überraschend den Zuschlag. Von einem auf den anderen Tag kündigte sie ihren Job und begann mit ihrer Familie ein neues Leben in einer neuen Stadt, ohne zu wissen, worauf sie sich einlässt ... In diesem Buch erzählt sie ihre eigene Geschichte und die ihrer Buchhandlung. Einer Buchhandlung, die zum Wohnzimmer für die eigene Familie wird, und zum Treffpunkt für die Nachbarschaft. Mit Stammkunden, die zu Freunden werden, und Freunden, die Stammkunden sind. Petra Hartlieb erzählt in einem schlagfertigen und humorvollen Ton, der jede Zeile zu einem großen Vergnügen macht und jedes Kapitel zu einer Liebeserklärung an die Welt der Bücher.

    • 'I want to wish all of you joy-because there is no better gift. Two spiritual masters, the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, share their wisdom in this uplifting book. I promise you, it's the best $26 you can spend.' Oprah Winfrey 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 travelled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create this book as 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 goodbye.
