Beskrivning

"A sumptuous feast."--HALEY STEWART, author of Jane Austen's Genius Guide to Life"Her unflappable hope and sense of enchantment radiate through every page."--BOZE HERRINGTON, novelist"Lyrical prose and delightful storytelling."--THE REV. DR. GLENN PACKIAMDiscover the Way Toward a Lighter, Braver, and Wiser Life This old world can be exhausting, despairing, and cynical. But you don't have to be. Instead, you can unlock the power to a happy life--an act of defiance that will make you more resilient in times of turmoil, pain, and chaos. Cultivating happiness takes grit, determination, and a good sense of humor. It's not always easy, but it's well worth it.Beloved writer Joy Marie Clarkson leads the way, crafting an audacious case for happiness no matter what you're going through. With her signature humor and lyrical storytelling, Joy offers an irresistible invitation:"If we accept that life will be full of difficulties and sorrows, we then have two options: to resign ourselves to life generally being a bummer, or to seek enjoyment, delight, and hope in the midst of (and in spite of!) life's up and downs. To put it bluntly: You could choose to cultivate happiness, or you could not. . . . I think we should go for it."Go, therefore, and choose an aggressively happy life.
