Discover your purpose to find meaning and take pride in a well-lived life
Explore mindfulness, quiet the chatter, and achieve peace
Appreciate your strengths
 
So take a deep breath, savor the moment, and celebrate you.
“Jennifer King Lindley gives women permission to be happy and advice on how to treat ourselves compassionately – just like we do for the people around us. Find Your Joy reminds us how valuable the power of positive psychology is to our health. The exercises are as helpful as fresh air, exercise, and healthy eating are to a woman’s overall well-being.”
—Beth Battaglino, RN, CEO of HealthyWomen

Find Your Joy invites us to take a break from the news, technology, and all the things that might serve to distract us from happiness and calm. This beautiful self-care journal is rich in advice, practices, and activities. It offers an opportunity to be immersed in chapters like: Befriend Yourself, Bask in Awe, and Be Here Now, all offering ways to assess our lives, our minds, and support discovery.” 
—Sharon Salzberg, New York Times bestselling author of Lovingkindness, Real Happiness, and Real Change

—Beth Kurland, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and author of Dancing on the Tightrope:  Transcending the Habits of Your Mind and Awakening to Your Fullest Life

“Joy will not arrive unbidden, crashing through the door, and demanding to take up residence. Joy is here, waiting for you to see it, and to touch it. No one else can discover it for you. This charming book is full of gentle steps that turn up the light and sweep away the fog so you can find what is so close: the joy of being you.”
—Steven C. Hayes, Ph.D. author of A Liberated Mind
