THE JOY INSTINCT
People rank joy as the emotion least under their control - and the feeling they most want.
What if joy isn't something you have to wait for, but something you can choose? What if you could experience more joy every day, and capitalize on the energy, hope, and meaning it provides? What if the decision to choose joy could also strengthen your relationships and create the closeness and community you long for?
Based on the latest research and insights from psychology and neuroscience, THE JOY INSTINCT shows readers step-by-step how to expand their capacity for joy. Readers will discover their signature joys - the most effective ways to find their ideal balance of exhilaration, renewal, and connection. They'll develop the ability to help others experience more joy. And they'll learn how to put joy in service of what matters most - as a resource in hard times, and as fuel for pursuing their most meaningful goals.
You can choose how you respond to life's challenges, and you can harness the best in human nature. Joy is a fundamental human strength, and it is possible to experience joy even when life is difficult. THE JOY INSTINCT is more than a book about happiness. It is a revolutionary reminder that joy is within reach, and a detailed, usable roadmap to the joy we all seek.
Kelly McGonigal is the internationally bestselling author of The Joy of Movement, The Upside of Stress, and The Willpower Instinct, among others. Her TED Talk "How to Make Stress Your Friend" is one of the most viewed of all time, with over 30 million views. Her popular audio program 40 Days to Positive Change shows how to harness positive emotions to fuel personal growth. She co-created the Stanford Compassion Cultivation Training, a program now taught worldwide to deepen people's experience of empathy, self-compassion, and social connection.
