Imagine what your life would be like if you could unlock deeper reservoirs of joy that uplifted your mood, fueled your energy, strengthened your resilience, improved your relationships, boosted your success, and infused more meaning into each moment. What could you accomplish or how might you show up differently for yourself and others with this renewable source of vitality within reach? While fleeting feelings of happiness come and go, joy has the power to transform our lives in profound and lasting ways. As spiritual leader Prem Rawat explains, "Joy fuels our lives. It is more sustainable and powerful than happiness alone." Studies back this up - sustainable boosts in our capacity for joy can literally change the structure of our brains over time, setting off ripple effects across every domain of life. So if joy is so critical, why do so many people struggle to access it amidst the chaos and demands of daily life? Why do even the most pleasant or seemingly joyous occasions often fail to lift our spirits in substantial ways? The truth is that joy is a skill - one that takes knowledge, self-awareness and regular practice to unlock and eventually master. We have to know how to remove inner obstacles like limiting beliefs and wired-in negativity biases that block it. Then we need tools, routines, mindset shifts that act as steady joy-boosting catalysts integrated into our lifestyles.In this hands-on guidebook, you'll not only learn science-backed secrets to meaningful boosts in sustainable joy drawn from the latest research - you'll gain access to over 15 customized practices and perspectives to raise your daily baseline joy while navigating life's inevitable ups and downs.
