Synopsis "Joy Is a Risk Worth Taking"

Bestselling author and renowned psychologist Kelly McGonigal offers a groundbreaking look at joy and how we can embrace it

As psychologist Kelly McGonigal reveals in this paradigm-shifting book, joy gives life meaning, sustains hope, and helps us feel close to others. It is the emotion that tells us: life is worth living, good things are possible, and you are not alone.

And yet, many people find it difficult to allow themselves to feel, show, or even seek joy. Instead, we worry: Is it selfish to want joy? Is joy even possible when life is hard? Instead of turning to joy as a resource, we try to protect ourselves from the perceived risks of caring too much. What if, instead, you were able to trust the feeling of joy and appreciate the good in your life? And what if you were able to help others experience the benefits that joy provides?

Weaving together personal storytelling with insights from psychology, neuroscience, and research conducted around the world, McGonigal offers tangible ways to experience this powerful emotion in everyday life. You’ll discover:

How joy works in the brain and body to provide reliefHow to create moments of meaning, connection, and celebration, in challenging timesWhy joy is a form of social support, and how to bring joy to othersStrategies to counteract joy dampening that keeps us from enjoying good momentsTools to navigate common obstacles to joy, such as envy, guilt, anxiety, and grief20 “joy experiments” you can begin implementing today
Motivating and uplifting, Joy Is a Risk Worth Taking shows that seeking and sharing joy is an act of courage and compassion—and one you can take even when life is difficult.
