What if joy isn't something you have to wait for, but something you can choose?
Based on the latest research and insights from psychology and neuroscience, The Joy Instinct is a step-by-step guide on how to expand our 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.
