An accomplished and honored professor, psychotherapist, author, and
chocolate connoisseur, Diane Gehart identifies surprisingly
efficient and fun ways to increase your daily dose of joy. Drawing
on positive psychology, Eastern wisdom, and three decades of
psychotherapist know-how, she outlines a no-nonsense yet
good-humored path to get you where you want to go. She will teach
you step-by-step how to: Identify the essential elements
necessary for life-long happiness and add them to your everyday
habits. Develop an unshakable sense of inner joy that sustains
you in good times and bad. Engage your most painful life
circumstances to dramatically improve your life for the better.
Navigate common pitfalls and challenges, including skillfully
handling the most difficult personalities and relationships.
Transform how you journey through life—making it a joy ride
regardless of weather or other unforeseen circumstances. First, she
debunks popular myths that have us looking for happiness in all the
wrong places and then offers an accurate map for getting where we
want to go. Next, readers will learn the hardest but ultimately
most liberating lesson: making friends with life and all that is,
including the good, the bad, and the ugly—which includes black
widow spiders for some of us. From there, you will learn
surprisingly playful and palatable options for maximizing your joy,
including mindfulness, crazy wisdom, compassion, and ethical
living. Finally, you will learn how to avoid—or at least
survive—the common pitfalls and the dangerous snakes that line
the path from where you are to where you want to go. If you have
avoided meditation and similar practices for most of your life
because they are dull and boring, you may find something that suits
your refined and zesty taste for living here. Along the way, you
will have numerous opportunities to laugh, to cry, and to reconnect
with the best within yourself. You will suddenly discover your most
desperate challenges dissolving before you, revealing an easier
path and renewing your delight in living and loving. Worst-case
scenario: You will have educational excuses to savor some chocolate
delights, enjoy a few good laughs, and gain a handful of new
insights about your life. Whether you are reeling from a
devastating break-up; feeling adrift professionally; struggling
with depression, anxiety, or more severe mental health issues; or
simply wanting to feel happier given the numerous blessings in your
life, this book will help you make changes that you could never
accomplish before because you will now be motivated to do something
different. Ultimately, this book invites you to play. To laugh. To
love. To heal old heartbreaks. To overcome what was once
impossible. To open your heart to life and all it has to offer:
white, milk, and dark. The stresses of modern life often create the
illusion that life is hard, painful, and lonely. You are only a few
bites away from an entirely different approach to living a sweeter
life.
